The House of Gucci

“Why? Why? Why?” cries a character (and I do mean character) in Ridley Scott’s take on the infamous Gucci family story. Anybody looking for something fun, or drama, or even just infectiously juicy may ask the same thing.

One of the reasons I appreciate Denis Villeneuve’s take on this science fiction classic might be one of the reasons that would drive science fiction fans crazy. Because as lush as this film looks, its script is also measured, dialogue controlled. You won’t find those lengthy and impeccably detailed narratives that some relish, but make my brain fog. Because this Dune has a lot to say, and makes sure it is accessible to all who are open to it.
