Il silenzio assoluto, un’entrata in scena senza rumore, a piedi scalzi, solo il ticchettio della pioggia lo accompagna sul palco del #NoBorders2022 ai Laghi di Fusine

Review : Dune [Part One] (2021)

Let’s go ahead and put it all out on the table... I’m not a big Dune guy.  Be it the divisive David Lynch release (which itself came out after four or so failed attempts by some film history heavy hitters), the extended TV re-cut that Lynch disavows or the 2000 TV mini-series version, I never could find a connection with the property that many hold as the pinnacle of science-fiction storytelling.  Once the word got out that Denis Villeneuve was taking a crack at it, however, my disposition changed completely... despite my disconnection with Dune, I do understand why Hollywood and the like refuse to let the property go, and with Villeneuve’s breathtaking Blade Runner 2049 changing my entire outlook on Blade Runner as a whole, I found myself wrapped up in the multi-year march towards the film’s release.  After a back and forth over whether or not HBOMax would get the rights to a same-day release, everything was set to go for October 22, but with pirates doing pirate things, Dune found itself in the world earlier than expected, so lucky for me, the release date was pushed up roughly 10 hours, allowing me a Thursday viewing prior to my trek to see the film on the big screen.

More so than any other adaptation of Dune, the use of Spice as a table setter for a war of ideals permeates, as this film holds its symbiology and narrative structure in equal measure to its visuals.  Maybe I’m just dense (or much younger and less seasoned of a movie buff), but the parallels to real life counterparts like sage didn’t connect back in the day, in the sense that Spice and sage are both very culturally important to the respective indigenous cultures, while to outsiders, it is seen simply as a resource and a means to a beneficial economic end.  With Spice as the cornerstone element, Villeneuve branches off into two very powerful support structures : the opposition of the regal versus the indigenous (which has been touched upon in all visual adaptations) and the insertion of a third party into historical conflict for auxiliary benefit, specifically when set up under the guise of a diplomatic or goodwill mission.  It doesn’t take a sociologist or political scientist to see the way that 21st Century events have primed us as viewers to resonate much deeper with the narrative subtext that has been present in Dune since (I assume) it’s release as a novel in 1965, and with a director as skilled and passionate as Villeneuve at the helm, I found myself much more invested in his presentation of Dune similar to the way that his stellar Blade Runner 2049 gave me a deeper appreciation of Ridley Scott’s original entry.

Outside of these foundational themes, this version of Dune is the first time that I bought in to the mystic side of the film, which is propped up nicely as a tie-in to Paul’s parallel internal struggles : legacy versus destiny, and fate versus free will.  Again, maybe I was too young to pick up on the expositional elements previously (on top of never having read the books), but the presence of the Bene Gesserit never stood out to me as strongly as it does in this film, and positioning Paul as a young man with personal ideals fighting against two daunting sets of expectations is a wonderful tension builder to help push the more mystical, spiritual and psychological elements to the forefront.  As I never did buy into the other adaptations, I somehow completely missed out on the concept of the Voice, but its presence (and more importantly, its implications in the face of fate versus free will being proposed) create a narrative wild card that is handled quite well and with great restraint.  Perhaps it is something of an unspoken thing in the science-fiction fandom social circles, but I can’t help but think of how much the Bene Gesserit and the Voice feel like DEEP inspiration for the Jedi and the Force, respectively.

Villeneuve has a wonderful knack for beautifully and seamlessly integrating future technologies with traditional moirés and evolution-based constructs, so it makes sense that the multitude of spacecraft, communication systems and armor used in Dune would look as stunning as it does innate... the flutter-wing ships in particular blew my mind.  The use of the “used future” look (a favorite production design choice of mine for science-fiction films) is impressive as well, with most every world appearing very much lived in, including the high society House Atreides.  The cinematography of Greg Fraser is inspired, vivid and dynamic, so much so that I will be surprised if it doesn’t at least garner nominations in most every awards show... I’d be willing to go so far to say that this film will likely win some cinematography awards, including the big ones.  Hans Zimmer also finds a way to step outside of himself, as his score balances his trademark symphonic sound with a very strange onset of synthetic sounds, creating an almost “humanoid music” that is strangely but deeply expressive in a way that I cannot remember experiencing previously.  The costuming is extremely dark, with black being the dominant color on all three sides, but it still manages to have a distinction and visually eloquence form character to character that not only makes each outfit unique, but it gives you a very quick read in terms of where they stand in each particular societal hierarchy.  Be they intentional or otherwise (though I doubt Villeneuve is the type to arbitrarily do anything as a director), I caught what felt like references to Apocalypse Now and Ingmar Bergman’s Trilogy of Faith consistently and throughout multiple aspects of the story.

I’m hard-pressed to think of a cast this strong in any film of the past 20 years, and surprisingly (to me), Timothée Chalamet more than handles the weight of being the centerpiece, as he displays equal parts angst, ambition, frustration and desire with the ease of an actor twice his age and experience.  He plays extremely well opposite Rebecca Ferguson, who channels her inner Liv Ullmann at times by having a reserved nature that is clearly a barrier to a tidal wave of secrets, knowledge and emotion.  The House Atreides triad is completed by Oscar Isaac, who finds a way to balance the dominance and power of a a Duke with the compassion and understanding of a father figure.  Josh Brolin and Dave Bautista stand as counterparts to one another with their deep and intense rage, though Brolin is able to check it and focus it (to an extent), while Bautista plays as someone tethered to it and trying to reel it in.  The film does a great job of paralleling characters, as Stellan Skarsgård and Charlotte Rampling are often contrasted as different versions of shadow rulers that restrain their true powers as a controlling measure while still managing to each be wholly menacing in their own right.  Stephen McKinley Henderson brings tension as a fated figure who seemingly dances with tragedy at every turn, as if his heels on the ground position entails holding up a crumbling tower with his bare hands, and all the while, he performs with a smile that is clearly holding back a breakdown.  Other standout performances include David Dastmalchian (who has been in SEVERAL big budget properties lately), Chang Chen, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, crowd favorite Jason Momoa, Javier Bardem, Babs Olusanmoun, Benjamin Clementine and many more... a special shoutout goes to Zendaya, who didn’t get much to work with in this film, and is clearly setting herself up for a big role in the follow-up, but feels grossly underused in this iteration.

With Legendary Pictures having yet to green-light a follow-up to Dune, we will all have to wait and see if Denis Villeneuve, Zendaya and company get to tell the rest of their story.  I will say this... as mentioned, I never bought into the Dune hype, even though I could tell it clearly held a formidable place in the world of science-fiction, but now I think I am ready to read the book, as this film feels narratively dense in the way that a novel would also tell a story.  On top of the great storytelling elements, the film looks amazing, and I cannot wait for some free time to see it on the big screen.  Definitely check this one out, as it will likely turn out to be one of the biggest films of the year (if not the biggest, depending on what kind of numbers Eternals can put up).

Guys this 45 right here from The Korgis (#thekorgis) is dear to my heart. There’s a song on the Face A of this #2piece titled ‘’Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometime’’... Oh man this song got through every break-down, every depression, every lowest of the lows. A very simple ballad that starts with these beautiful chords and the vocalist says : ‘’Change your heart ! Look around you ‘’ And oh Lord I just cry when the Strings 🎻🥺 arrives, when he says : ‘’ Everybody’s Got Learn Sometime’’ , I just zone the F*ck out and I understand this is just another lesson life is teaching me and I have to take it and turn it into something positive. There’s not too many songs that can be that simple and effective at the same time. Last I felt that way I was listening to Benjamin Clementine’s ‘’I won’t complain’’, another beautiful musical experience, but that’s for another time. #thekorgis #everybodysgottolearnsometime #45 #beautifulsong #benjaminclementine #changeyourheart #wellthoughtmusic #blindbabybutterfly #playitforyourself and #playitforyourmoma https://www.instagram.com/p/CTxkl9EMsXm/?utm_medium=tumblr

❣️Ren Sourcing Loves❣️BENJAMIN CLEMENTINE (Kaydırmalı post 👉🏻) -Please see comment section for English- 🌟TÜRKÇE: Benjamin Sainte-Clémentine (1988 doğumlu) bir İngiliz sanatçı, şair, vokalist, besteci ve müzisyendir. Londra'da doğup büyüyen Clementine daha sonra Paris'e taşınmış ve buradaki performansları, müzik ve sanat sahnesinde kült bir figür olmasına yardımcı olmuştur. Londra'ya geri dönerek, 2013'te BBC programı Later With Jools Holland'la televizyona çıkmıştır. Bazı eleştirmenler onu kendi neslinin en iyi şark��cı-söz yazarlarından biri ve Londra'nın gelecekteki sesi olarak tanımlarken, bir yandan da müziğini belirli bir tarzda konumlandıramamışlardır. Clementine'in ilk albümü At Least for Now, 2015 Mercury Ödülü'nü kazanmıştır.  Çoğunlukla tamamen siyah veya koyu renkli uzun trenchcoat benzeri yün paltolarla, çıplak ayakla sahneye çıkan Clementine'in kendine özgü androjen görünümü, kare kesimli, köşeli dolgulu kıyafetleri, tavrı ve 193 cm boyuyla en az sanatı kadar benzersiz olarak bilinir. Mart 2015'te Clementine, Financial Times tarafından en iyi giyinen elli kişiden biri olarak gösterilmiştir. Clementine, Christopher Bailey ile birçok kez işbirliği yapmıştır. 17 Haziran 2014'te Clementine, Burberry Prorsum Erkek Giyim defilesi boyunca canlı olarak üç şarkı seslendirmiştir ve bir Burberry şovu boyunca canlı performans sergileyen ilk müzisyendir. Ocak 2016'da Burberry erkek giyim şovunda tekrar sahne almıştır. Nisan 2016'da Oscar ödüllü yönetmen Steve McQueen'in yönettiği Mr. Burberry reklamı için "I Won't Complain" adlı şarkısı seçilmiştir. 📸 @akatrestudio 📹 Burberry Menswear January 2016 Show 📝 www.wikipedia.com #rensourcing #rensourcingloves #benjaminclementine #burberry #burberryprorsum (Ren Sourcing - Sibel Ege) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNKsJ5mLppS/?igshid=379lcd9n2bhl

I first saw Benjamin at Rough Trade in Brooklyn. Breathtaking presence potent voice and lyrics, captivating and poetic, the Leonard Cohen of our generation i thought. Immediately I asked Interview if we could organize a shoot with him, luckily he said yes. It was a pleasure shooting and meeting Benjamin. @benjaminclementine @interviewmag #benjaminclementine #interviewmagazine Styled by @emilymazur https://www.instagram.com/p/CIRXqGCltYB/?igshid=1djdluyvd5b66
