Review of Dune (1984) by I3Irdy — 21 Oct 2021

Now compared to the remake, this adaptation seems like a jewel from the 80s.

I went to see the remake with my wife and tried to explain some of the background to her... it's a disaster. And that's where the Lynch adaptation starts to shine. Apart from the possibilities of the time, the film has aged very well and the trick effects are still acceptable. But what is much more important in my eyes is the storytelling and the political background and context.

Simply very good science fiction. A must see for me.
