D U N E

Hans Zimmer’s DUNE soundtrack is absolutely gnarly — and it plays out brilliantly in the film. I’ll be honest: I don’t know much about the book. The synopsis is incredibly dense, and it’s clearly been a difficult story to bring to the screen.

The 1984 David Lynch version was a critical and commercial disaster. I have enormous respect for Lynch — but his esoteric style only tangled an already complicated narrative further. Villeneuve’s redux is a different story entirely. Far more accessible, and far more cinematic.
