Why ‘Dune: Part Two’ Is Undoubtedly the 2025 Oscars Best Picture
|
There is a tendency in film for a sequel to never match the success or the brilliance of its predecessor. However, Dune: Part Two makes for an outstanding exception.
Director Denis Villeneuve brought us Dune in 2021. Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel was finally done justice in film after the lackluster attempt at an adaptation in 1984. We were introduced to the world of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and his family, the House of Atreides. Dune tells the story of the desert planet Arrakis where the most valuable resource exists: spice.
