The latest film version of Dune debuted yesterday in theaters and on HBO Max. I did not see it yesterday but will eventually see and review it. I own a much-played DVD of the original Dune film and, unlike the critics, I like it very much. I also own the TV mini-series and like it as well. Eventually I will own the current film.
I suppose I liked the original Dune film because I had read the Frank Herbert novel and David Lynch gave me amazing visuals to go with my knowledge of the plot and characters. It isn’t clear if the film “worked” for those who’d not read the book. I remember explaining various scenes to the other DrC who has not read Herbert’s very long novel.
Whatever … the spice must flow.
