With Dune, director Denis Villeneuve walks on quicksand. The odyssey of the desert planet Arrakis was brought to the screen more than The Lord of the Rings.
How did the director of First Contact beat the Dune curse? “Villeneuve has a refined, mathematical, clinical, topographical aesthetic, since he shoots in real landscapes which lend themselves to the rigor of Herbert's novel. Warner also gave him the means and authorization to do two parts,” analyzes the director.
