It's not often that a sequel is better than the first film, but director Denis Villeneuve's "Dune: Part Two" is better than the first part released in 2021. in this podcast episode, HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano discuss a cinematic epic that takes us deeper into the sci fi story and, of course, also visually delivers with more of those ominous sandworms. The human actors are also good, with the familiar faces in the cast including Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Javier Bardem, Christopher Walken, Dave Bautista, Oscar Isaac, Rebecca Ferguson, Austin Butler, Josh Brolin and Stellan Skarsgaard. Our critics actually look forward to part three. Marie and Mike also talk about a very different film, "The Taste of Things," in which director Tran Anh Hung and actors Juliette Binoche and Benoit Magimel immerse us in the gastronomic world of 1880s France. It's a lovely film in terms of the characters, themes, cinematography and, yes, cuisine.
