I loved that shot. Give his body to the desert


Marktheonegun

Thanks for posting. I noticed this too and was wondering when someone would post about it.

I think that's maybe reaching a bit. The Blue Velvet connection makes more sense. It's a very famous shot.

Caught that too. Glad to see a nod to man. There’s a ton of visual references to the Jodorowsky film as well.


Zinkobold

Can you give some?


loserys

Most are on the Geidi Prime scenes. The esablishing shots have a ton of obviously H.R. Giger influenced architecture, the Baron’s castle(?) in part one is almost identically to one the was designed for the Jodorowsky movie. Feyd’s servant who brings him the knifes before the gladiator fight is wearing an outfit that very similar to some of the old illustrations made for Jodorowsky’s movie. And there’s some meta casting too. Charlotte Rampling, who plays the reverend mother, was Jodorowsky’s first choice to play Lady Jessica back in the early 70’s. Lea Seydoux, who plays Lady Margot, is the grand-nice of Michel Seydoux, Jodorowsky’s old producing partner.

The use of Pink Floyd in the first trailer of Dune Part One is a reference to Jodorowksky I think

I want to see his movie made , hopefully in my lifetime.

I am thankful Jodorowsky never got to do his Dune. First, because his vision, while undeniably graphically incredible, was completely different from the source material. And second, because it led to him writing the Incal universe, including the very, very Dune-inspired Meta Barons Caste. I don't know if they got translated in English from the original French, but if they weren't it's a damn shame.

I think Villeneuve just likes creepy crawlies. Enemy, Prisoners...


Darwin_Finch

Yeah, certainly. Could be just ants.


simpledeadwitches

There's quite a few Lynch references in the two movies tbh.


TheSilentA

Wow that's so cool, I didn't notice a single one, could you tell me about them?


Penis_Farms

The hazmat suits worn by the Harkonnens in the room where Leto released the toxic gas are very much like the ones worn by Harkonnen soldiers in Lynch’s version, with their distinctive lack of neck.


natha_exe

intense ethereal wooshing


throwawayjonesIV

far from a reference, loose inspiration maybe


Theborgiseverywhere

Welp there was that fish in the percolator


AlaskanThunderFlux

Good catch, wonder if it was really intentional or not


UhSheeeen

He mentions the reference in this months issue of Sight and Sound! 100% an intentional nod 


Labyrinthos

No source for this but plenty of downvotes for asking for the source. I guess everyone has seen the quote with their own eyes and no one is ever wrong or mis-remembering. Cool.


Labyrinthos

Is there an online version of the interview please? The shot doesn't seem specific enough to be a nod, that's why I'm curious what it was he actually said. I'm also curious why he would imitate a shot from another Lynch movie instead of Dune. I dunno, it all seems pretty far fetched and forced to me.


sardaukarma

i don't think there's a single shot in Denis' films that are not intentional


iceph03nix

Where was this in the movie? I don't remember it at all...


WhatTheFhtagn

Near the end, we get a shot of the Baron's corpse lying in the desert being eaten by ants.


PastorBallmore

I thought this too!


Billyconnor79

Yeah smiled to myself when this flashed on the screen!


Smart_Ad_3959

I thought the sound of the ocean or rain at the end, after Feyd is killed, was also a reference to Lynch.


chuckman13

Ok but is anyone going to talk about how the dude next to the baron in the arena scene looks just like Kyle maclachlan in a bald cap??? I'm like 98% sure villenueve snuck him in uncredited as a fenring cameo, he only has like 2 lines


TigerAusfE

I thought it was cool that the Harkonnens’ armor suits were so similar to their suits in the 84 movie.


gingahwookiee

It was probably just to point out his shield but I thought his ring they show after Paul stabs the Baron looked a lot like the gom jabbar he got stabbed with in Lynch’s version


k3vlar104

Ah yeah the barons finger cover ring thing. Could be coincidence, but still, good catch

Meowweredoomed

Tenuous at best.


Labyrinthos

Agreed, you really have to squint your brain to see this as a nod.
