Denis Villeneuve

2h 11m

The Quebec film that got him noticed, and still his most devastating.

1h 31m

Gyllenhaal meets his double. Small, strange, and it ends on an image nobody forgets.

2h 33m

A missing-child thriller of unusual moral seriousness. Roger Deakins' first with him.

2h 1m

The border, and a tunnel sequence that is a masterclass in sustained tension.

1h 56m

First contact as a linguistics problem. The best entry point to his work.

2h 44m

A sequel that had no business working, and does.

2h 35m

The unfilmable book, filmed. Half of it, anyway.

2h 46m

The better half, and one of the great modern spectacle films.

2h 20m

Dune Messiah, and the close of the trilogy. Shorter than either half before it.
