The director of Dune dreams of filming a film without a single dialogue

Thanks to tapes like Blade Runner 2049 o Dune 2we can be very clear that the excellent filmography that makes up the films of Denis Villeneuve are characterized by a very powerful visual section. The director has always opted to represent his story through powerful images, but he is willing to go one step further.

During a talk at the BFI London Film Festival

the filmmaker noted that “I love dialogue, but not [siempre] in cinema.” Villeneuve believes that words must often be reserved for other formats such as theater or television, so “I hope that one day I can make a film that does not use spoken language. I try as much as possible to use the power of images“.

The truth is that it would be a real challenge and take us back to a very old era of cinema, since today it is difficult to find a film in which no character utters a sound. There are examples like The Artist

o The red turtlebut they are still very few exceptions, and Villeneuve highlighted in the session how Zendaya had a magnificent performance in the final stretch of Dune 2.

“He gave an incredible performancewhere she mainly has no dialogue, but only the reactions – and we understand the tragedy,” explained the artist. One of the most recent examples of practically not saying a word throughout the entire footage is that of Furious

. Anya Taylor-Joy suffered a lot during filming, since George Miller did not allow her to express herself beyond her gaze.
