Kino... kino... absolute fucking kino!! I was standing on both feet staring at my OLED TV in pitch black darkness, completely transfixed on the film with overwhelming surround sound. Moved the coffee table out of the way so I could stand directly in front of the tv and sit in my desk chair like a completely deranged autist. I was rewinding scenes and pausing to look up things about the film and the novel. By the next 24 hours I had already watched the David Lynch film, read the entire ᑐ ᑌ ᑎ ᑕ appendix and most of the beginning of the novel and prepurchased the 6 Herbert novels as Kobo ebooks.
Quite literally and unironically me for the entire 2 hour and 30 minute duration of this film.
By the end of the film my hands were sore and numb. I began kneeling out of respect to Denis Villeneuve and Frank Herbert. Never since when I was 11 years old watching Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring for the first time had I so rapidly felt the need to start reading the book series a film was based on. Villeneuve has redeemed all of the sins of French Canada with this singular work of unbridled, pure and unadulterated kinography of the highest order. Very possibly the best sci-fi film of multiple decades. Basically, the sequel to this film will follow the second half of the novel; this is an extremely fucked up and bizarre series of events that will likely be extremely difficult to translate from written prose into kino. If any technical auteur is capable of delivering it to us, it is Denis Villeneuve. Because man, that Lynch film is fucking awful. I can't believe I actually watched all of it. I begin to understand now why so many have called ᑐ ᑌ ᑎ ᑕ "unfilmable", and yet miraculously here we have the first half of a functional ᑐ ᑌ ᑎ ᑕ film. What a goddamn time to be alive.
Why pirate bay... why have you forsaken me?
Trailers felt super deceitful, I love it. This film will be just like Blade Runner 2049 with normies and muttmericans being unable to comprehend or pay attention to this masterpiece. Gonna basically keep the film on repeat at reduced volume in the background while reading all 6 novels now. I admit that when I first tried to read ᑐ ᑌ ᑎ ᑕ as a teen I found it extremely dense and very difficult to visualize the scenes in my mind, I liked quotes from the novel but never actually read it. Now that Villeneuve has provided that kinematic visual language for my mind to work with, I think reading all the novels will be an absolute blast.

Bravo, Villeneuve!
