7 out of 10

 

I have tried https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2024/09/dune-by-frank-herbert-my-other-note-on.html the celebrated Dune before, in book format, that is audiobook, and I did not find the oomph, stamina, determination to get on with it, I was thinking that perhaps the movie adaptation will catch my attention, appreciated as it is

 

Alas, it did not happen, granted, we seldom have a motion picture that is better than the original, it happened to me in the case of Doctor Zhivago, where the film is phenomenal, and the book has disappointed me, David Lean, Omar Sharif, Julie Christie, Rod Steiger, Alec Guiness, Tom Courtenay make this spectacular

https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2023/11/doctor-zhivago-screenplay-by-robert.html at least for this story I could go along, with both the book, which has failed to impress me, and especially the narrative on the screen, the revolution, attacks on the streets, the love story, splendid scenes in the snow, a glorious work of art

 

Timothee Chalamet is the man of the moment, or at least one of the rising stars in Hollywood, except he has become something of a liability for the under signed, in the sense that once he is in a feature, I have doubts, disliking his approach, even more his off-stage persona, what with the attack on opera, which is for the creme de la crème

https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2024/05/call-me-by-your-name-screenplay-by.html whatever he said, it was distasteful, albeit I have to admit that his early success for Call Me by Your Name was merited, I am looking forward to seeing Artificial, directed by the same Luca Guadagnino, who gave us the aforementioned Call Me by Your Name

 

in fact, I enjoyed Challengers more, Luca Guadagnino has worked with Zendaya – whose presence in Dune does not improve things, though I like her style – Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist with excellent results, a motion picture about tennis does not exactly meet my usual requirements, despite the fact that it has eroticism…

and that is clearly a major advantage, furthermore, the three leads have a menage a trois, taken to a degree that is more than enticing…Denis Villeneuve https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/12/arrival-written-by-eric-heisserer-and.html is clearly talented, I have liked Arrival, and Sicario, and I am sure Dune is good

 

impressive film making, but then what to do with an audience, even a cinephile, who misbehaves, like the spoiled emperor from History of The World https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/02/history-of-world-by-mel-brooks.html as told by Mel Brooks: they bring a massive treasure and Dom DeLuise as the tyrant is just saying ‘nice, not thrilling, but nice’

In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin

  In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin In The Fade has won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film, although in this cinephile's opinion, Una Mujer Fantastica- which has won the Oscar in the same category- Nelyubov or The Square would have been better choices. Having said that, Auf Dem Nichts is a very good, significant, remarkable feature, that attracts attention to violence against minorities, in this case the Kurdish community in Germany. It is therefore not one sided, we do not have only Muslim lunatics killing innocent "infidels", but also some extreme Europeans murdering the other side. The problem is that, unacceptable, horrifying and vile as these acts are, it appears that the overwhelming majority of atrocities are committed by zealots acting in the name of Islam- radical and unrepresentative as they are for this supposedly peaceful faith, although there are passages in its holy book that seem to insist on a violent jihad and ultimat...
