Book Presentation:
Critically examines the work of Québécois filmmakers Denis Villeneuve
Engages with all of Villeneuve’s feature films (some individually and some comparatively), including those that have up until now received little critical attention
Proposes original analyses of all the films from multiple critical and theoretical approaches (thematic, sociocultural, formal, ontological, feminist, allegorical, narrative, spectatorial, intertextual) which both contribute to current scholarship and serve as a resource for undergraduate and graduate students
Offers a clear overview of Villeneuve’s contributions to contemporary cinema, both in a Québécois context and with regards to his Hollywood films.
The nimble, creative spirit of Québécois screenwriter and filmmaker, Denis Villeneuve, is reflected in his varied body of work. Villeneuve explores questions of alterity and interculturality, of language and identity, of memory and forgetting, of violence and retribution, throughout his filmography: Un 32 août sur terre (1998), Maelström (2000), Polytechnique (2009), Incendies (2010), Enemy (2013), Prisoners (2013), Sicario (2015), Arrival (2016), Blade Runner 2049 (2017) and Dune: Part 1 (2021).
