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.
Villeneuve made his English-language debut with the knife-edge procedural drama Prisoners, followed by the surreal doppelganger drama Enemy (both 2013). The striking cross-border crime thriller Sicario (2015) was the filmmaker’s major international breakthrough. Like his previous work, it reveals a fascination with language – spoken, visual, emotional. That element was taken further with the richly rewarding Arrival (2016).
Villeneuve remained on Earth for another take on sci-fi with the hugely anticipated and critically acclaimed Blade Runner 2049 (2017), before jettisoning beyond the stratosphere – narratively, critically and commercially – with his stellar, visually intoxicating two-part adaptation of Frank Herbert’s epic Dune (2021-24). We welcome Denis Villeneuve to the BFI London Film Festival to talk about his extraordinary career.
