Have you watched the Dune?
Yesterday I was talking to a student of mine about Dune and she was telling me how much she liked the film and especially Timothee Chalamet, with whom she said she was in love (I don't blame her, Timothee is a very handsome man).I then recounted to her that I had also seen the first film, Dune, because I was then "in love" with Kyle Mc Lachlan, my teenage crush since I had first seen him in Twin Peaks.
The student looked at me in wonder and asked, "Is there another Dune movie besides this one?" She had never heard of previous versions, nor that it was based on a book.
But then came the real question? Which one is the best?
And that, my friends, is the "million dollar" question...
Dune, Frank Herbert's books, have been adapted at least two times on the big screen. There was also an attempt from Alejandro Jodorowsky to produce the film but it didn't work out. Also there were at least two more series based on Dune Chronicles on TV. And that's not counting the comic book or video game adaptations.
Since the latest adaptation, there was a lot of talking about which one was better, the one from Denis Villeneuve (2021) or the one from David Lynch back from 1984.
Which one do you the think is the best?
