Denis Villeneuve’s mega-success ‘Dune’ explores intergalactic world, meant to be seen on the big screen
In the real world, humankind conquered every region of the world, learned to adapt and bow to the laws that nature governs over us. Along the way, many failed to make the distinction that we’ve not conquered nature, even if that’s been our intention. Denis Villeneuve’s newest film “Dune” is an adaptation to Frank Herbert’s quintessential science fiction novel of the same name. The film follows Paul Atreides, played by Timothee Chalamet, in the year 10,191 as he descends into the desert world of Arrakis. With “Dune,” Villeneueve crafts a three-hour spectacle featuring a world as true as ours, with people that feel real, full of culture and faith.
themiamihurricane.comReview: Denis Villeneuve's doom-laden, dynamite 'Dune'
Hot as it may be on Arrakis, the desert planet that draws the universe’s most powerful interests to its mineral-rich but inhospitable sands, Villeneuve’s film is a solemn slow burn. This “Dune,” a cool-headed colossus, erects a massive, brutalist architecture of otherworldly science-fiction to craft a big-screen spectacle of thundering splendor. Villeneuve does atmospheric exteriors more than he does emotional interiors.
