Blade Runner 2049

(United States, directed by Denis Villeneuve)

From the moment Blade Runner 2049 got announced, film critics and cinephiles alike were almost in a state of euphoria and hysteria. The long-awaited sequel to Ridley Scott’s cult movie, directed by none other than Canadian wunderkind Denis Villeneuve. And indeed, the result is overwhelming. Blade Runner 2046 is a monumental masterpiece. A visually overwhelming, slow and sad piece of science fiction art, reminiscent of Tarkovsky.
