Denis Villeneuve is preparing “Dune: Part Two” but in the meantime he revealed the film that he considers a “masterpiece”.
After “Prisoners” (2013), “Sicario” (2015), “Arrival” (2016), among othersDenis Villeneuve is back in the spotlight after “Dune” (2021), now working on the sequel.
In the incredible adaptation of Frank Herbert worked with several renowned actors – Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Stellan Skarsgård, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Jason Mamoa, Christopher Walker, among many others. But before success came knocking, he spent nine years without making a film, between “Maelstrom” (2000) and “Polytechnique” (2009).
Despite being working on “Dune: Part Two”, fans only think about the possible third film. For those who are more attentive, in the first film, Paul Atreides has a vision – “a great war spreads across the universe with an uncontrollable fire”. However, this episode only occurs in the second book in Frank Herbert, “Dune Messiah” – the book that Denis Villeneuve wants to adapt to close the trilogy. But until then everything will depend on the success of “Dune: Part Two”.
While there are still a few months to go until the sequel premieres, Denis Villeneuve revealed the film which he considers the “perfect masterpiece”.
THE GREAT MASTERPIECE
In an interview with Movie MakerO director French-Canadian revealed the film which he considers to be a masterpiece – “andI was 19 or 18 and I went to a screening of Lawrence of Arabia, a new 70mm print in Montreal and I was alone in the room. At the time, I was a film student and it changed my life. It’s a real cinematic lesson and continues to be, by far, one of my favorite films.”
Dennis Villeneuve ends with great praise – “Lawrence of Arabia is to cinema what the pyramids are to architecture. It’s like a masterpiece, it’s timeless, and it couldn’t be done again today. AND a perfect film. And it’s a master class in cinematic language. For a film student, I had to see this film in all its power on the big screen – it had a tremendous impact on me and my creativity.”
