Three by Denis Villeneuve
The lauded French Canadian filmmaker behind the recent blockbuster sensation Dune , Denis Villeneuve started his career with a series of darkly funny, offbeat films laced with the intriguing science-fiction themes that would recur in much of his later work. Following a striking, technologically prescient contribution to the omnibus anthology Cosmos , Villeneuve made his feature directorial debut with August 32nd on Earth , an idiosyncratic existential drama that established him as one of Canadian cinema’s most vital new voices. Its follow-up, the audacious psychological fairy tale Maelström , is narrated by a fish with its head on a chopping block in a classically Villeneuvean touch of surprising surrealism.
