... you can learn from:
The Neon Demon (2016)
Roberto Sarno: True beauty is the highest currency we have.Without it, she would be nothing.Dean: I think you're wrong.Roberto Sarno: Excuse me?Dean: I said, I think you're wrong.
Roberto Sarno: So are you gonna tell me thatit's what's inside that counts?Dean: Yeah, that's exactly what I think.Roberto Sarno: Well I think, that if she wasn't beautiful...you wouldn't have even stopped to look.
Did I tell you guys that Alessandro Nivola liked one of my tweets the other day? Be still my heart, and other organs, he did. This one:

Somebody need to make sure that Alessandro Nivola and Emily Mortimer are doing okay STAT!— Jason Adams (@JAMNPP) September 27, 2016
I tweeted that after the terrible news about Liev Schreiber & Naomi Watts splitting up - we've lost too much this year; I can't take any more grieving. Anyway I think we can take his "like" as confirmation directly from the source that they're doing fine; phew.
I hope you have all seen The Neon Demon by now, which really might've become, with immediate success, my favorite Refn movie of all. And this scene's a stand-out -- even though his part's pretty small (too small if you ask me) my love for the movie's partially owed to Nivola's perfectly smug performance as the fashion designer in love with beauty.
Oh and a happy 46 to Mr. Refn today!

It has become my favorite NWR film as well, followed by Bronson and Only God forgives tied for second. I love the poetry in your review for this one, I guess it's the right style of review for the right movie. Good job!

I have so many more actor crushes than director crushes, but NWR is one bespectacled and extremely attractive man. P.T. Anderson, Guy Ritchie, the guy Kristen Stewart once fucked while she was with RPatz and, to a lesser extent, Edgar Wright, can also get it.
