BFI LFF 2024 SCREENTALK: DENIS VILLENEUVE TALKS TO BRETT GOLDSTEIN

On The Comic Crush, the UK’s best online comic shop and entertainment site, Director, writer and producer Denis Villeneuve talks to actor, writer and podcaster Brett Goldstein about his career, which includes films like Dune, Enemy, Sicario and Blade Runner 2049. A filmmaker renowned for exploring the subtleties of human relationships within the wider canvas of large-scale, visually stunning epic narratives, Denis Villeneuve brings rare intelligence to a cinema that is both kinetic and emotionally affecting. His early, award-winning Canadian features, August 32nd on Earth (1998), Maelström (2000), Polytechnique (2009) and the Oscar-nominated Incendies (2010) had already revealed a director who was uncompromising in his vision as he explored the darker side of humanity, yet always leavened by the possibility of hope.
