Beauty is Not a Sin

Beauty Is Not a Sin, is a short movie commissioned by MV Agusta. In this short film, Refn explores the complexity of desire and beauty, using a cinematic language that blurs the lines between art and commerce. The influence of Kenneth Anger, evident in the use of colours, iconography, and symbolism, is at the core of Refn’s vision, transforming a product, such as a motorcycle, into a sensual and provocative work of art.

With Beauty Is Not a Sin, Refn once again demonstrates that the attraction towards beauty is not to be condemned, but instead, it is a natural impulse that permeates every form of art and human expression.
