Category / Villeneuve, Denis

Maelstrom (2000)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2000, Canada, Denis Villeneuve
  • Leave a comment

A talking fish on the chopping board partly narrates this interesting if weird non-linearly-structured sophomore feature by Villeneuve that is tonally all over the place, as it explores how cosmic connections mediate between actions and consequences.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Dune (2021)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2021, Canada, Denis Villeneuve, USA
  • 5 Comments

A master of the deliberately-paced blockbuster, Villeneuve’s attempt at adapting Frank Herbert’s sci-fi novel is admirable in its storytelling clarity and stunning world-building.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2017, Denis Villeneuve, USA
  • 5 Comments

It doesn’t quite top the religious experience that is the 1982 film, but Denis Villeneuve and DP Roger Deakins have created a visually and thematically expansive arthouse blockbuster that deepens the mythology of its universe.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

August 32nd on Earth (1998)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 1998, Canada, Denis Villeneuve
  • 1 Comment

Chanelling the free spirit of the French New Wave, Villeneuve’s first feature is stylistically bold but falls short as a narrative about two ex-lovers who cannot be together.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Sicario (2015)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2015, Denis Villeneuve, Mexico, USA
  • 2 Comments

Villeneuve’s film builds suspense like a worker laying bricks – slowly but surely, giving us a largely solid Mexican cartel infiltration thriller that packs a strong punch.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Enemy (2013)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2013, Canada, Denis Villeneuve
  • 3 Comments

A strong mood exercise that brings to the fore a tense psychological mystery that is both twisting and twisted.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Prisoners (2013)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2013, Denis Villeneuve, USA
  • 5 Comments

Denis Villeneuve’s assured direction and Roger Deakins’ evocative cinematography elevates this seemingly generic suburban mystery-thriller into something that will shock and haunt you.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Incendies (2010)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2010, Canada, Denis Villeneuve
  • 6 Comments

A slightly overdrawn film, but haunting and emotionally resonant in its own way, at the same time announcing Denis Villeneuve as a cinematic force to be reckoned with.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.
