In these rich times for science fiction fans, the France.Tv platform offers film fans an invaluable gift: Dune by David Lynch. A cult work of cinema from the 80s, now accessible for free. This gesture comes at an opportune time, coinciding with the release of Dune 2, directed by Denis Villeneuve, which is currently in theaters. Fans of the saga can revisit the classic before diving into the new work.
Dune of 1984 is free!
Lynch’s Dune, released in 1984, has always divided critics and audiences.
