Sordid Cinema Podcast #602: How Dune Paved the Way for Star Wars, Game of Thrones and More…

Beyond fear, destiny awaits.

December 1, 2021

Explaining Dune 2021

There’s a lot to like about Denis Villeneuve’s version of Frank Herbert’s Dune and this week on the Sordid Cinema Podcast we discuss what we admire about the Montreal filmmakers’ adaptation of the complex, weighty sci-fi novel and how it compares to David Lynch’s 1984 vision. We’ll tell you why Dune is a feminist film even if it revolves around a very masculine world and explain why it has some of the best sound design of any blockbuster film in recent memory. We also examine Greig Fraser’s gorgeous cinematography; Patrice Vermette’s incredible production design, as well as the work of Hans Zimmer who spent months creating new instruments to help him and his team, compose the soundtrack. Needless to say, there’s a lot to discuss this week including how Dune influenced the making of everything from Star Wars to Game of Thrones. All this and more. Enjoy!
