CBAs 2017 nomeados
Denis Villeneuve has emerged as one of the most visionary directors working in the Hollywood studio system thanks to a string of critically acclaimed films such as “Prisoners,” “Sicario,” “Arrival,” and “Blade Runner 2049.” That’s saying nothing of Villeneuve’s challenging indie fare, from “Enemy” to “Incendies” and more. IndieWire counts “Arrival and “Blade Runner 2049” as two of the greatest science-fiction movies of the 21st century, with the former title landing Villeneuve his first (and so far only) Oscar nomination for Best Director. Next up for Villeneuve is “Dune” (releasing October 1, 2021 in theaters and on HBO Max), but as fans wait for the delayed tentpole they can start catching up on several of the director’s favorite films.
From “Under the Skin” to “Dogville” (two titles Villeneuve considers benchmarks of 21st century cinema), many of Villeneuve’s favorite films are as narratively daring as his own feature directorial work. In some cases, a favorite film played a part in influencing his own work (see “Dead Ringers” and “Vertigo” leading to “Enemy”). In other cases, a favorite film is the reason he took a gig in the first place (you don’t helm “Blade Runner 2049” without being a Ridley Scott superfan). Check out a collection of Villeneuve’s favorite films below.
2017 didn’t improve much on 2016. If anything, the horror and dread of last year only seemed to take root and blossom this year, as some of our worst collective fears were realized and the future seemed to grow dimmer with every bad-news bulletin and misjudged tweet. If there was a constant, at least for cinephiles, it lay with the movies. One can quibble with the cumulative quality of 12 months of cinema. But as the world burned, the films still delivered. There were so many good ones in 2017, in fact, that we surely left out some of your favorites, including The Shape Of Water, Blade Runner 2049, The Post, Faces Places, Wonder Woman, The Disaster Artist, Coco, and Mudbound. Hopefully, 2018 will improve on 2017 in almost every regard. But we really couldn’t ask for much better movies.
