Masterpiece, magnum opus, all the superlatives – whatever, we know. What stands out to me with Dune: Part Two however is Denis Villeneuve himself; An auteur through and through, he has solidified himself as a visionary in the truest sense, beyond the mere amalgamation of influences from his contemporaries, and further beyond the secular Hollywood machine that consumes all lasting semblances of artistic integrity.

Those Who Wish Me Dead 2021
⚠️ 56/100
