Villeneuve and his co-writers pared much of that away in adaptation. In my experience with the first three novels and Lynch’s film, Paul was a name attached to an archetype, and Dune an impenetrable treatise on politics, religion, imperialism, and ecology, thinly dressed as a sci-fi yarn loaded with jargon I could never remember. But with his new film, Denis Villeneuve has succeeded where Frank Herbert and David Lynch have failed: he made Paul Atreides come across as a human being and Dune as an epic narrative. The tone may have been monotonously grim, the sound mix was murder on sensitive ears, and if I never hear another Hans Zimmer score, I'll consider myself lucky.
