+1 for Villenuve. All his movies I have seen are excellent. I’d rank them as follows:

  1. Prisoners
  2. Blade Runner 2049
  3. Sicario
  4. Arrival
  5. Enemy

I’d put Sicario below BR2049 and Arrival, but perhaps my opinion of it isn’t as high because I wasn’t able to watch it in one, uninterrupted sitting. I rewatched both Arrival and BR2049 this week, and I think I like the latter more now. I used to think Arrival was a perfect film, but I came to realize that it fundamentally misunderstands Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. They are all fantastic films, though. I have yet to see Prisoners or Enemy, but I’m sure the same applies to them, and Villeneuve’s past work (and future Dune adaptation).

I cannot wait for his take on Dune. He is on a sci fi roll right now.

I’ll be crushed if his Dune ends up not happening. My favorite working director making an adaptation of my favorite novel? Sign me the fuck up.

It should happen. He’s turned down other projects so he can focus on Dune.
