Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi fiction, Dune, a futuristic geopolitical allegory, gets adapted once again (decades after Alejandro Jodorowsky’s aborted attempt in the1970s and the much later David Lynch directed Dino De Laurentiis production of 1984) – this time by Denis Villeneuve who brings to life this outer-space mythology with stark, emblematic reverence.
