Incendies, the 2010 drama directed by Denis Villeneuve, has left me without words to describe it other than powerful and masterful.

It's free on Kanopy via participating libraries in the U.S.

Watch it knowing as little as possible about the plot and let it unfold and envelope you. If you appreciate the art of #cinema, this is a reward.

I was devastated starting with the bus scene, less than halfway in.

I like when the Guardian gets somebody who has seen plenty of science fiction to review science fiction.

Sometimes they don't and an Adrian Chiles bumbles in and goes "what's all this then? Anyway, let me tell you about my day today...."

This one knows their Kwisatz Haderach from their Luke Skywalker

The Guardian · Will Dune: Messiah be Villeneuve’s crowning achievement, or the moment the spice runs dry?By Ben Child

I rarely need to decompress after watching a film, but in this case it was a necessity, this is the most emotionally resonant film I've seen in years. I'd not realised a blockbuster director like Villeneuve had something as high quality as this in his back catalogue. Rating? Hors catégorie.

#MovieReview (well, movies):

Dune, Part One - Almost nothing happens, but there are a lot of pixels.

Dune, Part Two - For the first two thirds of the movie, nothing happens. Then in the remainder, virtually all of the character and plot development takes place during jump cuts, the story is almost completely opaque, and the thing still manages to be three hours long.

Denis Villeneuve, you should be ashamed. You knew how to tell a story and project interesting, empathetic characters in Arrival. And now this garbage.

Hoy no hice anotaciones en el pizarrón, pero les cuento: en mi grupo de #novela leímos el comienzo del #Quijote y vimos cómo abre su mundo para sus #lectores en el siglo XVII. También hablamos de lo que comparten una novela y quien la lee, de cómo (y cuándo, y cuánto) adicionar detalles inventados y nuevos, y de #FrankHerbert, #DenisVilleneuve, #ElenaFerrante y #MargaretAtwood. Ahí vamos. 🌟
