BIOGRAPHY OF DENIS VILLENEUVE

Denis Villeneuve was born on October 3, 1967 in Gentilly, near Trois-Rivières, in the French-speaking Canadian region of Quebec. After an initial interest in science, he moved on to study film in Montreal. In 1991 he participated in a competition (Europe-Asie) with reportages and won an award that allowed him to make his first film with the help of the Office National du Film, a short film on the theme of multiculturalism, REW FFwd, shot in Jamaica. It is the story of a photographer who finds himself in a ghetto deemed dangerous after a car breakdown and has a life-changing experience. He also shoots music videos and a fragment (The Technetium) of the collective film Cosmos. In 1998 his first feature film arrives, A 32 août sur la terre, presented in Cannes in the section A Certain Régard, on an initiatory journey into the Salt Lake City desert. In 2000 he turns Maelström, presented in about forty festivals, the story of a girl who falls in love with the son of the man she killed. In 2008 he signed the bizarre short film Next Floor, on a luxurious banquet that turns into a gastronomic and carnal ritual, with which he wins the Semaine de la Critique in Cannes. His next project is Polytechnique, which tells of a real massacre that took place in a scientific school in Quebec in 1989 (14 victims, all girls) through the eyes of two survivors, Valérie et François. He then signed another film on the condition of women, this time in the Middle East, the acclaimed The woman who sings, adaptation of a play by Wajdi Mouawad, which gets an Oscar nomination for best foreign film in 2011. Two American thrillers from 2013, both starring Jake Gillenhall, follow: Enemy is Prisoners. In 2015 the narco thriller Sicario with Benicio del Toro, Josh Brolin is Emily Blunt, is in competition at the Cannes Film Festival. Immediately after it turns Arrival, science fiction film with Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner is Forest Whitaker nominated for three Oscars – including his first directorial nomination – and moves on to the sequel set soon after Blade Runner 2049. He then undertakes to bring Dune back to the cinema of Frank Herbert, after the unsuccessful attempt to Alejandro Jodorowsky and the unfortunate experience of David Lynch.
