![]() Nor does he lash out against television series, which he considers to be on par with cinematic creations. Villeneuve does not simply lash out against platforms or streaming in general, of which he does recognize the indisputable merits, and not only in the context of the ongoing health crisis. Villeneuve delivers very precise and very strong criticisms, declaring in fact that he felt betrayed by those who should have done their best to promote the highly anticipated Dune, the film that he calls “the best job I have ever done”. ![]() The reason why Villeneuve's open letter deserves attention is the way and the tones in which the director disagrees with the distribution strategies of WB. Other titles involved in this decision include Cry Macho, Clint Eastwood's highly anticipated new film, and Lana Wachowski's The Matrix 4. The reason for the letter lies in the sadness with which the director of films celebrated by both the public and critics such as Prisoners, Sicario, Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 responded to the announcement that all Warner Brothers productions scheduled for 2021 would become available on the HBO Max platform simultaneously with the theatrical launch. Long live theatrical cinema! The open letter from Denis Villeneuve published a few days ago by Variety ends with this vibrant appeal to the cause of cinema.
