DP/30: Sicario, Denis Villeneuve 

One of the greatest filmmakers working today

My best friend is recently home having spent 9 months working with him on Dune. A lovely guy by his account and a massive talent by all accounts!

Denis is the best director of his generation. Period. I know you see comments like this all the time, but I find it hard to name a more versatile director working today. Although sci-fi is his bread and butter, Denis has made excellent films from multiple genres. This is a subjective claim, but I genuinely think none of his films are bad; it’s merely a matter of which is better than the other (and even that is difficult to determine). The fact that he made a sequel to Blade Runner - a sequel that I think is monumentally better than the original - is a testament to his skill as a filmmaker

I feel so proud that Denis Villeneuve, Jean-Marc Vallée and Xavier Dolan all come from Quebec! They are making beautiful projects, I can't wait to see the next ones

I remember coming into the theatre watching Prisoners having never heard of Denis. Now after also watching Polytechnique, Sicario and Enemy he is probably my top 3 favourite directors.

Hearing Denis Villeneuve admitting to everything he has not felt or experienced on anywhere close to a personal level, and then come out with such masterpieces is just wow. I am an admirer now 👍

You guys need to NEVER STOP making these quality interviews... pretty please

this man one of the best and underrated directors of his generation. i hope he's not too tired for bladerunner i hope you interview ryan cooler as well

Seems like a nice and humble guy!

One of my favorite directors! I am so excited for his upcoming movies!

7:56 Even if my English sounds like the one Denis is speaking (we are both from Quebec City), I smiled at that part: You know to know, you know to know the limit, you know to know the where where ;)

Here after Dune 👀 🧡

These are so brilliantly insightful. When he talks about creative control and ego. Phenomenal.

He is so incredibly talented. I'm a huge fan of Prisoners and looking very much forward for the Blade Runner film even though I'm not a fan of the first one. To see his version and his understanding of the universe and the characters are gonna be so exciting!

Hell yeah he's one of the few directors left with cojones.

Phenomenal director and great interview!

I can't wait to hear his Dune interviews soon.

I literally have not followed a filmmaker as religiously as I follow him. He is a literal GOD!

What a sincere artist! He could not even deny the fact that he is a Canadian!

Thank you so much!

thank you so much for this interview ! So interesting!

He is very quickly becoming my favorite filmmaker of the decade.

GREAT interview!

Amazing up and coming director. Reminds me of Nolan in the early 2000s

Thank you so much David Poland, you are an extraordinary man for bringing us closer to artists of genius! I watched with great pleasure your interview with Trent Reznor and Ethan Hawke and just wanted to say this. The access that you give us is a non-stop gift. I truly hope that you will never get tired! All the best

Episodes that I hope will happen and I look forward to watching them: DP/30: Midnight Special, Jeff Nichols DP/30: Everybody Wants Some, Richard Linklater DP/30: The Hateful Eight, Quentin Tarantino (or any cast member) What's yours?

Says he needs time after the next one... Blade Runner 2047 comes out a year after Arrival.

I love Denis' work! Still haven't seen Sicario, but am dying to. "The next one"; gee I wonder what that is...

Best director working today!

does anyone know if there are manuscripts of these interviews?

Genius Director! I hope he will keep following his own path instead of directing pictures that 'rich' producers want him to direct, because that seems to be a by product for a lot of great directors nowadays.

0:55 "Do you prefer to work all the time or do you prefer to have a little space?" unfortunately he had no rest time for making dune part 1 and 2. he even said it was taking a toll on his mental health

Sicario maybe the best action movie of last few years

What agency is the character os Jeffrey Donovan (Steve Forsing), CIA or DEA?

well...the gauntlet has been laid down. if he and deakins can make a great sequel to bladerunner ...my hat will officially be off. hoping for the best!

8:41 Great advice for not only filmmakers but for anyone in general. This is why his films are a cut above the rest

Viva latinos

mmmmAAAANNNN!! This guy should've been in charge of the movies of the DC Universe instead of zack snyder.

thanks for the video. the movie was horrible and waste of time.
