This movie, a triptych whose overlapping structure is reminiscent of such movies as "Pulp Fiction," "Before the Rain" and "Winter Sleepers," is definitely fierce and most definitely human. "Most of all," says Arriaga of his screenplay, which took 36 drafts, "I wanted it to be fiercely human." Novelist Guillermo Arriaga has the perfect description for "Amores Perros," the Mexican film that has won festival awards around the world and probably would have claimed the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film if not for a certain phenomenally successful movie called "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Check out a collection of Villeneuve’s favorite films below.Emilio Echevarria plays a street wanderer in "Amores Perros."
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). In some cases, a favorite film played a part in influencing his own work (see “Dead Ringers” and “Vertigo” leading to “Enemy”). Next up for Villeneuve is “Dune” (releasing Octoin 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.įrom “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.
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. 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.
