While spectators await the release of Dune: Part Two in cinemas, director Denis Villeneuve made a comment that went poorly on social networks.
Dune was the slap in the face of 2021, and we owe it to its director and his artistic touch. Denis Villeneuve has indeed succeeded in adapting Frank Herbert’s novel by infusing it with his vision of the grandiose on the canvas, allowing the public to find sensational settings. Better: for the second part which is about to be released, we were promised the same thing, with even more dazzling action.
Indeed, Dune 2 will adapt a more warlike part of Herbert’s work, in which Paul Atreides will have to prove himself to the Fremen, the people of Chani… before going off to fight, big sandworms in addition.
Reviews are already rolling in, promising mind-blowing action. But as the public prepared for the screening of Dune 2, the director released a remark which did not go unnoticed by certain Internet users.
“Dialogue is not cinema”: Denis Villeneuve, director of Dune, divides fans
Denis Villeneuve, the director of Dune: Part II, created controversy by asserting that dialogue is not cinema. But why?
The position adopted by the filmmaker was taken during an interview for The Times, in which he declared that the small screen had a harmful impact on the seventh art. The author explains: “Frankly, I hate everything that is dialogue. Dialogue is for theater and television. It is not for a striking line that I will remember a film, but rather for a powerful image.”
” The dialogues don’t interest me. A purity of image and sound, that is the power of cinema, but we are not necessarily aware of it when watching films these days. Movies have been corrupted by television. “
As every time a director issues such a strong opinion, social networks have taken up the matter. And the community of movie-loving Internet users seems clearly divided, presenting themselves either in opposition to the filmmaker or in agreement with him.
All the respect to Denis. One of the greatest living filmmakers today. But dialogue IS important to great cinema and great storytelling. Visuals alone cannot carry a film. Quentin Tarantino films wouldn’t be as special as their are without their dialogue, for example.

“I don’t remember movies because of a good line” is crazy most of my favorite movies have an iconic line of dialogue I always think of

“The writers at the same time:”
And to see if Dune: Part II contains as many good dialogues as strong images, you will have to go to theaters from February 28, 2024.
