DUNE (2021) – AFI Movie Club

Directed by Denis Villeneuve from a script he co-wrote with Jon Spaihts and Eric Roth, DUNE (2021) was recognized in the year of its release with an AFI AWARD in 2021, naming it among the most outstanding motion pictures of year. According to the official rationale, “DUNE transports audiences to new worlds and immerses them in a vision so pure that the power of art is forever proven. This epic vision is painted with the brush of a master, Denis Villeneuve, whose exquisite adaptation mines its rich source material to reimagine one of pop culture’s sacred texts as an experience that is transporting, intoxicating – and entirely cinematic. Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac and an incandescent ensemble are a testament to the intimacy of performance that inspires fantasy to become reality.”
