"Back to school" or "boring film"?"Dune" de Denis Villeneuve: the opinion of the mask and the pen

This is the highly anticipated film in September: the adaptation of the novel by SF by Franck Herbert by the Canadian director.The story with Timothée Chalamet, Oscar Isaac and Rebecca Ferguson triggers a certain unanimity among the cinema specialists of the Sunday evening cultural program in France Inter.

La présentation de """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""Dune"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" par Jérôme Garcin

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""This is the event of the fall: the release of Dune, the film of the Canadian Denis Villeneuve.It is 2.5 hours long, heavy with a budget of $ 165 million, and this can be seen on the screen.The casting ?""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""The idol"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Charlotte Rampling, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin...

Dune, which I will be careful not to summarize for lack of time, is the nickname of the desert planet Arrakis.The heat borders on 100 degrees, and giant worms raise the sand.A precious spice is produced on this planet.It makes it possible to prolong human life, interstellar navigation and gives divinatory virtues.

We are in the year 10 191 when Duke Leto Atreids (Oscar Isaac) inherits this planet where he goes with his concubine, Dame Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), his son Paul (Timothée Chalamet) and his best soldiers.They will fly over the desert in dragonfly helicopters that I find quite successful.

He meets the Aboriginal people of the Fremen: they have blue eyes and await the """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""muad'dib"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""", the Messiah who will arouse jihad.They are persecuted by the barbaric clan of the Harkonnen, which are both bald and beardless.

There is also the Bene Gesserit, an exclusively female community that plays a very important role in the planets.The superior mother is embodied by Charlotte Rampling.

It must be said that it is exhausting to look.I was struck by the lack of feeling and emotion.But on the other hand, there are a lot, a lot of sand!He should have the feeling of warmth that I did not have.""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Pierre Murat : """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""C'est magnifique, mais on s'ennuie beaucoup""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""The helicopters are very beautiful and wake us up a bit.I will once again be in contradiction with my newspaper because all the reviews of Télérama have been very moved.Now, I miss the emotion.

I want Denis Villeneuve a lot.He is a director who has a lot of talent.I had been very fan of Blade Runner 2049, which was already a little cold.But there was a character, a quest, an almost metaphysical vision, close to Andreï Tarkovski at times.I told myself that he might be able to return to Dune this epic of mystical quest.And there, I stayed hungry because I found it frozen.

Especially since, paralyzed by his sets, by the money, by all that he probably had to do in the contract, the characters do not exist.Timothée Chalamet: It looks like a vision or a robot from artificial intelligence.He has no feeling on his face.It is not his fault: he was asked to express nothing at all.

Each plan is a splendor.But what can splendor be annoying and boring when for 2:25 minutes, nothing happens.""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Eric Neuhoff : """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""On dirait un épisode de Top Chef""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Well, we understood that it was happening in the desert.We may not have been forced to ask the sandman to make the film!

It's a bit like a Star Wars.We mix all the tribes: the harkonnen, the fremen, the atreids ...

It is a kitsch and so cheesy that this film is the SF of the 1960s.It happens in the year 10,000, but it has the impression that they went to rob an old locker room in the Albanian army.

We don't feel 100 degrees at all ... But I would have liked we feel the second at least.But there is absolutely no humor.All this is taken seriously.And it's boredom!

There is poor Charlotte Rampling.After putting on the cornette of good sister Benedetta, she wears a buried burden.Next time, they'll put it in a divestment!

We really understand that the best film from Dune is not that of David Lynch, but the one who has never been done, and fortunately: that of Jodorowsky.""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Xavier Leherpeur : """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""Un bel objet arty assez ennuyeux""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""Dune part of a false trailer in which we put the three humor humor traits of the film. Quand on l'a vue, on se dit : """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""Chouette, ils ont joué le décalage à la Marvel's Avengers.They understood the air of time ... """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""".No, the three moments of humor are diluted in the 2h40.So it's very sentenced and it takes itself very seriously.

And there, we see a trailer of 2:40.We quickly see that he will not get everything back into this film.So, after an hour twenty, in a premonitory passage, the hero sees the images of the next episode.

We are shown a fraction of great epic battle where Timothée Chalamet jumps over everyone, turns on himself like a Power Ranger ...

And then we see him riding the giant worm - which is the only scene that we expect.Dune is still the only novel in which the hero rides a phallus who has a face of anus, it's worth quoted.There, we reassure you, it will be in the next.Except that we are told that he is not yet filmed!So, you have to go and hit this one to see the next one ... it's starting to do a lot!

And then, if you will see the film, edit the formidable summary that Jérôme Garcin did, because there are two temporalities in the film, there is that of the story and that of the staging.

The film is quite beautiful, it's quite flamboyant.The soundtrack is interesting: very trendy, with drums, but it ends up playing against the film itself.

Denis Villeneuve is so busy making beautiful arabesques, beautiful camera movements that he loses us. Je me suis demandé : """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""Qui sont les Atréides ?"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""Qui sont les méchants"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""", """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""Qui a trahi ?"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""", """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""Qui est l'empereur ?"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" J'ai été obligé de me référer constamment au récit pour me dire : """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""L'ectoplasme, pardon, Timothée Chalamet, est dans quel camp"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" ? """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""Et la dame, qui est-ce"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" ? Sauf qu'au bout d'1h20 de reboot du récit, je m'en suis un peu fichu du film.In summary, apart from the soundtrack, the film is an arty object unfortunately quite annoying.""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Sophie Avon : """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""L'ampleur narrative d'un film ne dépend pas du gigantisme déployé""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""I'm going to be brief: I agree with everything that has been said.Even if I still find that you were a little severe with Denis Villeneuve.I'm waiting for him.Indeed, I remained of marble, I did not feel any emotion.It feels like we have seen it hundreds of times.

All these films, like Star Wars, Blade Runner ... have siphoned all these themes: wars, rivalries, betrayals ... And we need to be told at least a little differently.Here, the characters do not exist.They are reduced to their function.

There is another problem: this kind of stallion, marketing, trademark of the Hollywood masterpiece which would be in gigantism.It is absolutely necessary that everything is monumental, that it is increasingly large...

Even if there are quite beautiful things in the film, gigantism does nothing.""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
