How Dune (2021) Captures The Atmosphere Of An Alien Planet
In 1965, Frank Herbert wrote Dune, a complex sci-fi masterpiece which, in 2003, was declared the most successful sci-fi novel ever written. While the book was an undeniable success, it has been considered by filmmakers as somewhat of a cursed concept, much like the theme of pirates before the first Pirates of the Caribbean came along. Each big-screen iteration of the book failed miserably. With content that is so complex and so intricate, it only makes sense that most filmmakers are unable to tackle it, at least without descending into the same madness that previous directors David Lynch and Alejandro Kodorowky succumbed to in their individual interpretations. However, Denis Villeneuve, director of the 2021 reincarnation of Dune, might just have gotten away with it, in part due to his masterful understanding and depiction of the famous desert Dune is so well known for.
