Denis Villeneuve (Dune)

from MovieMaker · host MovieMaker Magazine

We had the honor of speaking with one of our greatest directors just days after his film Dune earned 10 Oscar nominations, including for Best Picture. Our favorite part is hearing him talk about the interconnected shots in Dune, "trying to create a melody" in the story, and watching Lawrence of Arabia in an empty theater when no one else showed up. He ends the interview with some excellent advice for anyone who wants to make films.Here are some highlights:on Best Director Oscar Snub (1:50)-Creating the camera language for Dune (2:30)-On Paul's reluctant POV (5:03)-Framing the "Internal" (5:20)-Working with your actors (7:15)-Style changes throughout the years (8:30)-Visual differences in Blade Runner 2049 and Dune (9:35)-Cinematic Storytelling between Paul and Lady Jessica (11:00)-Talking about subtle juxtapositions in images (12:43)-We geek out about seeing Lawrence of Arabia alone (15:30)-Advice to moviemakers (17:46) Hosted on Acast.
