Another instance of green-eyed producers making a run for the Star Wars bucks, Dune is a clone bastard with an insufferably awful script adapted to a spectacle of excess and avarice. It is very, very frustrating, and only worth watching for the director’s imagery which, among the cipher of a narrative, takes on a mystic quality.
Shame, the book is great
How about Shame, the film? 😉
Not seen it yet. It’s sitting on my harddrive. I am ashamed.
