My ranking: 1. BR 2049 2. Arrival 3. Sicario 4. Prisoners 5. Enemy 6. Incendies That's all I've seen. It's difficult to rank them because they're all great.
Prisoners is probably one of the most underrated movies in existence. But I honestly canNOT watch it again. I love dark movies but that one...holy shit. I felt like a hollowed-out shell for the rest of the day once I finished it. And Hugh Jackman should've won a damn Oscar for it.
For reals I literally teared up at the end because throughout the whole movie I was completely okay with what Keller was doing I felt like climbing into the TV and help beat the dude to get information about his daughter but by the end of it I completely felt like literal garbage and my soul turned rotten I have never watched a movie and left feeling guilty of myself for the actions of what I thought he was doing was right except the poor guy was innocent. Imagine committing all that torture for what you thought was for the greater good but you got the wrong one. this movie messed me up lol
I feel the same. It’s one of the few movies i would give a 10/10, but the thought of revisiting it kind of scares me. It was such an amazing piece of film because of the direction and tone, and the thing that stands out above everything else is that it makes you feel just as helpless as the parents who just want their children home safe.
That bathroom interrogation scene in Prisoners was so damn intense. Apparently, the part where Hugh Jackman's character puts the hammer through the wall was improvised.
@Fenix Anime BG i suppose yeah, but 70 is still an awful lot more than 8. i don't know a great deal about FH, but i do know a lot of other authors have signed thousands of copies of some of their books.
It's crazy that Prisoners and Enemy came out the same freaking year! Then Sicario 2015, Arrival 2016, Blade Runner 2049 2017. All expertly crafted films, great casts, sick cinematography, and scores to match. R.I.P. Johann Johannsson. That Sicario score got right under my skin and heightened the tension. Who else has a catalogue like Denis!! Great vid btw
Ikr!?! It's amazing that in just a couple of years Villeneuve has managed to become one of the most intriguing directors in Hollywood. He made so many banger movies in so little time. Johann was such an incredibly gifted composer. His music is beyond beautiful, it's just amazing! R.I.P. Johann Johannsson 🕯🌹
My favourite Denis Villeneuve film is Blade Runner 2049. Or maybe Sicario. Or maybe Arrival. F***, I just can't pick. The man is on the mother of all hot streaks, tbh.
If in the future Denis himself directs with a diverse filmography like Spielberg or Scorsese, doing animate, horror, comedy stuffs and they are equally great, which is to soon to call but damn, i will be at a lost for words.
@akshay Viswambharan sorry what? Arrival's pacing was immaculate. The scenes linger no longer than needed, the cinematography was mind blowing, and every frame has a purpose
A short run time would actually be under 80 minutes. The average movie is between 96 and 101 minutes long. You're just used to alot of modern movies that think they have to make 2 and a half hour borefests. 90 minutes is average movie length. That's what happens when a director hires an editor that actually does his job. I agree though, fantastic film.
My favorite of his is still Incendies, that I felt was an heart-wretching masterpiece of a movie. The intro sequence with Radiohead's "you and whose army" playing is one of the most powerful intro intoduction to a story I ever saw.
Prisoners was the first movie I've seen from Denis Villeneuve and it blew me away. The acting, the cinematography and the music are just amazing! I remember the scene where Jake/Detective Loki rushes to the hospital with the little girl Anna. That breathtaking car ride scene really had me at the edge of my seat. I instantly felt that there was something unique about the movie and in the way Denis directed it. He manages to combine big blockbuster movies with a philosophical approach and a thought provoking plot. The emotions he conveys are as visceral as it can get, doesn't matter if it's fear, sadness, hate, disgust, pain, sorrow, happiness, felicity, content, discontent or awe. He's a truly one of a kind filmmaker.
I recently re-watched Enemy few days ago and I decided that Denis is my favorite director. The man can't make even an average film. Hes truly an incredible filmmaker and I'm so happy he won the 'filmmaker of the decade award'.
Coincidently all three films are reminders of the acting chops of 'high profile' Hollywood actors! Loved the tone throughout the video, keep up the great work.
Great video of breaking down character development. I’ve always found it fascinating how every director has “their” method of portraying ones suffering or triumph and the conclusion to that characters arc. I’m a huge fan of the director from his cinematography to the smallest details that would go over most head but are there if you look for them.
Sicario invites you to delve into its suspense everytime you watch it as if it's your first time. Blade Runner achieved a feat which most sequels made a long time after the original movie can't achieve. It is cold, gripping and pressing with the obvious opportunity to reconsider cyberpunk becoming a reality-the linking of science fiction and a dark possibility. Enemy plays with the viewer's mind-trying to portray to them the kind of abstract and surreal subconscious they encounter everyday. Arrival is another great movie and so is Prisoners. Well, he has been able to reflect to the inner thoughts of the human which constantly conflict for survival inside a mind, projecting it on the big screen.
Since I saw Enemy, I thought that should have been an Oscar winning movie for Jake Gyllenhaal. But it seems the point of the movie flew over peoples heads, I'm glad to see this video and see more people appreciate how great that movie was.
Damn. Every video from you guys leaves me in awe. Seriously the best RUclips channel to date. Cant wait for more videos! In the mean time, I'm going to rewatch some of your past videos again! So good!!
What impresses me most about Villeneuve is the fact that he's consistently managed to put out Oscar worthy movies every year. Prisoners(2013), Enemy(2013), Sicario(2015), Arrival(2016), Blade Runner(2017) and according to reports, he's already done filming his new 'Dune' movie and is now involved in post-production! Even accomplished directors like Spielberg, Scorsese, Tarantino, Cameron, Nolan etc take a lot of time between their successive movies. Like how is he so good?
This is the best video essay I've ever seen. I don't watch a lot of movies, but I love film analysis; I could listen to you talk about this for an hour. This was to the point while still being really comprehensive and it makes me want to watch all of these movies.
Guys you really outdid yourselves this time. Amazing writing, editing, and pacing. Love your videos. Makes me appreciate Prisoners so much more after seeing this.
“Everyday stressors change us over time, like water slowly altering a stone foundation over the years; but there are some situations that, in an instant, confront us and force us to question our core beliefs, treasured values, and our faith. Much like an elastic [rubber band], being stretched out to it’s breaking point, but once it’s released, it can never recover it’s original shape.” Damn.
As a huge Blade Runner fan, when I found out he will direct 2049, I lost my entire mind (of happiness that is) and went into the theater as soon as it launched. It was exactly what I came to expect from him and it left me breathless. I am personally torn between Blade Runner 2049 and Sicario, with Prisoners coming a close second. Sicario is pretty much flawless, specifically for the dining table scene (at least as far as I am concerned) and the music ("The Beast" raised inside me some horrors and fears I still can't quite pinpoint). In terms of cinematography, I am in love with his wide angle shots, the way he frames and entire scene in one shot and does not shy away from portraying trauma in an almost mundane yet still very tense way - a quality I find lacking in most film directors who direct big-budget films. I think the word I am trying to find is 'real' or 'tangible'. The characters are real/tangible, be they androids of a dystopian future or tough women placed in a spot whose inner workings slither in between the lines of what they think is wrong or right. I could go on about Villeneuve for hours to be honest, his films have touched me and spoke to me in ways I didn't think movies were capable of anymore.
David Fincher & Christopher Nolan are my fav directors but Denis quickly rose to be one of my favourites. I never realised he directed Prisoners the first time I watched it but I remember being a young teen and being in complete awe of that film. Really excited for Dune now, especially with what he's done with blade runner 2049
I really appreciate that you also bring up cinematography of a film, one I don't see other talk much about. You really are one of the best video essay channels of RUclips. I hope to see more content from you. Cinematography really is one of the most underrated and under appreciated things of cinema today. I hope you will bring this aspect up more. Thank You for making these, I really appreciate it.
Villeneuve has quickly become one of my favorite directors and it’s a point of pride for me that I’ve seen all 3 of these movies you chose to analyze. Beautiful work, btw!!!
A brilliant assessment of a brilliant director. Villeneuve is one of those few filmmakers that causes my pulse to rise the moment I hear he is releasing a new film, the man is a true master of his craft in every sense of the word.
I remember seeing Arrival in theaters, three years ago and everything about the film blew my mind. It was the first time I’ve heard of Denis Villeneuve as a director, and I was very interested in what other films he made before Arrival. I found out he directed Sicario a year before that film, and I watched it on DVD. That film too, blew my mind! The dinner table scene will never leave my mind. After watching Sicario, I found out that Villeneuve was directing Blade Runner 2049; and just like Arrival, I saw it in theaters. After seeing Blade Runner 2049, Denis Villeneuve became one of my favorite directors of all time, and he has inspired me to be a filmmaker. Can’t wait for Dune!
Flipping wonderful and inspiring! I love Denis' films, but his presentation for Blade Runner 2049 is so phenomenal. Its wonderful story telling about what is means to be human. Thank you for this vid. :)
I love you man, your voice are so relaxing throughout this great narrative videos. Kinda lookin’ forward to see what’s next from this channel! Keep it up!
:54 seconds into the vid, haven't seen any but 2 of his movies, and I upvote. Will continue watching as I know these are as much works of art as the films explored...
My favorite film by Denis Villeneuve is still Prisoners. I just loved all the characters and their conflicts they each face knowing that the answers we seek will never be clear or clean. I can’t wait for Dune.
I love every one of this man's movies. Blade Runner 2049 and Prisoners are my favorite movies. I've seen them both many times and I wish I had friends that loved these films like me.
Great video ! Denis Villeneuve's Prisoners are one of my favourite movies ever. What about Nicolas Winding Refn ? Do you have any plans to make video about him and his movies ?
Too Old to Die Young, his new series on Amazon, combines some of the best thematic and stylistic elements from Drive and The Neon Demon. It’s Refn in all his glory for 13 hours.
Aided by amazing cinematography, director Denis Villeneuve film's creates worlds of tense uncertainty in which our protagonists could be in danger, or safe,at any time. His film's are complex and rewarding to watch! Good video!
"In the end, none of us are entirely good or bad. Each one of us is the hero of our own story and might very well be someone else's villain. We all share the same two-sided potential within us." Pretty much what I kept thinking when playing The Last of Us 2. Such a fantastic video that I find myself rewatching once every few days!
4:03 "Life's hard choices don't suddenly stop after you've made the right or responsible decision. It's a battle that never ends." This hit me personally. My struggle with depression and thoughts of suicide are still persistent, but just because I did the right thing in the eyes of my family, getting a job, they now believe I'm okay. I will never blame them though. We all have our own battles after all. Stay strong on the path folks!
Another great video. I love the movie Sicario. It shows so well the different sides to the drug conflict and the ending with the son of the Mexican police officer is really well done.
Dude please recommend movies or make a list of movies people should watch . I saw prisoners (cause you mentioned it in this video )today and it's all I've been thinking about all day I can't shake it
They don't. A lot of this is overanalyzing. The cinematography in Sicario isn't "a metaphor for our perception of good and evil." It's just great cinematography
I think all his movie is all bout the character, from knowing nothing - realize something - conclusion.. From Polytechnique the man who strugle with feminisme to bladerunner who wonder hw tobe human. I can tell all of them is all bout characteristic and u can relate to this life.. If u kno DV style, u probably kno what u expect from his next project..
So bladerunner 2049 is my favorite movie, and i recently watched it with my sister-in-law and she is the type to look at her phone during movies. So as you can guess i had to pause the movie and explain what was happening, alot. It was infuriating.
4:18 I don't see that scene as the pregnant wife trying to control him, but rather she realizing he's back in his old ways and being scared at him for that (the spider seems to be shrinking in defense, as if it were scared, that's why I think of it that way). Either way, Enemy is a very ambiguous film, so there' bound to be different interpretations of it, and the rest of the things you said about it clarified some things I hadn't catch about it. That's what I wanted to add, but honestly, this is a great analysis on a great director. Great work, man :)
What's your favorite Denis Villeneuve movie?
(Hard choice for me)
Only seen Arrival, and bits of BR: 2049.
Update: saw Enemy... Pretty cool.
My ranking:
1. BR 2049
2. Arrival
3. Sicario
4. Prisoners
5. Enemy
6. Incendies
That's all I've seen. It's difficult to rank them because they're all great.
easily Prisoners
Blade Runner 2049. I can only it so much to the movie in certain scenes that I actually struggle to watch it.
Arrival ❤
After Blade Runner 2049, Arrival, Prisoners and Sicario I can't wait for Dune.
Vicente Ortega Rubilar Plans within plans within plans....
Looking forward to it 👍
Holy shit. I had no idea he did all those movies. I guess I should watch all of his movies.
@@downsjmmyjones101 in 7 years he make 6 films, all of them are fantastic, can you believe that?
CHRISTOPHER NOLAN REALLY GOOD DIRECTOR TOO. INCEPTION, DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY, DUNKIRK, INTERSTELLAR, ETC
I would love to watch Jake Gyllenhaal and Dennis Villeneuve working together again . A brilliant actor and director duo
I would love to see them in a new project together 👍
Gyllenhal would make a pretty good Paul Atriedes actually!
@@Ammoniumbicarbonat Maybe a very old Paul from Children of Dune, yeah.
I heard they're pairing up again for a film called The Son, based on a book of the same name.
Jake said that all Villeneuve has to do, is call him and he’ll be in.
Prisoners is probably one of the most underrated movies in existence. But I honestly canNOT watch it again. I love dark movies but that one...holy shit. I felt like a hollowed-out shell for the rest of the day once I finished it. And Hugh Jackman should've won a damn Oscar for it.
Yeah he deserved to win something for it👍
Hugh knocks it out of the park always
For reals I literally teared up at the end because throughout the whole movie I was completely okay with what Keller was doing I felt like climbing into the TV and help beat the dude to get information about his daughter but by the end of it I completely felt like literal garbage and my soul turned rotten I have never watched a movie and left feeling guilty of myself for the actions of what I thought he was doing was right except the poor guy was innocent. Imagine committing all that torture for what you thought was for the greater good but you got the wrong one. this movie messed me up lol
Same. I hated every second of it. It had me at the edge of my seats in a rather uncomfortable way but I cant seem to drop watching the movie.
I feel the same. It’s one of the few movies i would give a 10/10, but the thought of revisiting it kind of scares me. It was such an amazing piece of film because of the direction and tone, and the thing that stands out above everything else is that it makes you feel just as helpless as the parents who just want their children home safe.

I know literally nothing about dune. But I am super excited for it just because it's directed by Villeneuve
@Fenix Anime BG yep. I am planning to read the book
Same
@Fenix Anime BG what.
I got my copy for £8
@Fenix Anime BG ah yeah that'd do it.
having had a look online, there are hadrbacks out there for over $70.. i mean, maybe if it's a signed copy? haha
@Fenix Anime BG i suppose yeah, but 70 is still an awful lot more than 8. i don't know a great deal about FH, but i do know a lot of other authors have signed thousands of copies of some of their books.

he has yet to do an "ok" movie. All of them are 10/10
@akshay Viswambharan sorry what? Arrival's pacing was immaculate. The scenes linger no longer than needed, the cinematography was mind blowing, and every frame has a purpose
Denis villaneuve, Christopher Nolan, Damian Chazelle, and Yorgos Lanthimos are the faces of the future of cinema.
Love all of them👍 A bright future
Del toro
@@musashi6875 he said future cinema, Del Toro has been around for awhile now.
Yea.. So has Chris Nolan though
@@RADFLIKINCRRQT13 True
As someone from Québec, it's always enjoyable when a name is well pronounced, so thank you very much for your consideration !
Pas de problème👍
@@Screened you even put the accent on the 'e'... Feels good.
And not only French, also Spanish (talking about Sicario characters). Love this video, by the way
My kiwi ass said deh-niss vih-lah-nue-eh-veh
I am a Villeneuve, and I approve this message!
Every time I think that cinema is dead, I rewatch one of Denis' films. They give me hope that not all is lost.
I completely agree! Denis Villeneuve is the silver lining on the horizon. His movies are remedies to compensate for every bad movie I've watched.
At only 91 minutes, Enemy tops my list for excellent films with a short run time.
A man of culture, in the RUclips comment section. A truly rare sight.
A short run time would actually be under 80 minutes. The average movie is between 96 and 101 minutes long. You're just used to alot of modern movies that think they have to make 2 and a half hour borefests. 90 minutes is average movie length. That's what happens when a director hires an editor that actually does his job. I agree though, fantastic film.
Share that film list ;)
I love denis vellneuve, best director of the century
He really is 👍
Just after guys like PT Anderson
Chris Nolan: am I a joke to you?
@@v-trigger6137 Yes, you are.
agreed-awesome director!
My favorite of his is still Incendies, that I felt was an heart-wretching masterpiece of a movie. The intro sequence with Radiohead's "you and whose army" playing is one of the most powerful intro intoduction to a story I ever saw.
Prisoners was the first movie I've seen from Denis Villeneuve and it blew me away. The acting, the cinematography and the music are just amazing! I remember the scene where Jake/Detective Loki rushes to the hospital with the little girl Anna. That breathtaking car ride scene really had me at the edge of my seat.

He's a truly one of a kind filmmaker.
I recently re-watched Enemy few days ago and I decided that Denis is my favorite director. The man can't make even an average film. Hes truly an incredible filmmaker and I'm so happy he won the 'filmmaker of the decade award'.
Coincidently all three films are reminders of the acting chops of 'high profile' Hollywood actors!
Loved the tone throughout the video, keep up the great work.
Thank you!

Love everything he has made so far
This is probably the most brief yet clear explanation of enemy i've seen. Great video.
Blade runner 2049 floored me. Arrival and prisoners were also some of my favorites
Okay that was the best, most concise analysis of Enemy i have ever heard. Kudos to you, and have a subscribe!
Thank you very much 👍
Arcsector YourMoviesSuck, aka Adum, also has a pretty interesting video on that topic. So does Chris Stuckmann although I am yet to watch that.
Sicario invites you to delve into its suspense everytime you watch it as if it's your first time.
Blade Runner achieved a feat which most sequels made a long time after the original movie can't achieve. It is cold, gripping and pressing with the obvious opportunity to reconsider cyberpunk becoming a reality-the linking of science fiction and a dark possibility.
Enemy plays with the viewer's mind-trying to portray to them the kind of abstract and surreal subconscious they encounter everyday.
Arrival is another great movie and so is Prisoners.
Well, he has been able to reflect to the inner thoughts of the human which constantly conflict for survival inside a mind, projecting it on the big screen.
Arrival had me weeping like a little girl at the end
The shot at 8:29, honestly, in my opinion, is of the best in modern cinematography.
It's so well made👍
Since I saw Enemy, I thought that should have been an Oscar winning movie for Jake Gyllenhaal. But it seems the point of the movie flew over peoples heads, I'm glad to see this video and see more people appreciate how great that movie was.
thanks for the subtitles, it's my favorite director.
Sicario, Arrival or prisoners, not what to choose.
Really hard to choose

Already in love with Villeneuve's work after Bladerunner 2049, time for me to watch the rest of his movies.

Pretty much what I kept thinking when playing The Last of Us 2. Such a fantastic video that I find myself rewatching once every few days!
Wow just realised, all of his movies are my favourite movies or, most of my favourite movies are his movies.. this man is impeccable
He really is 👍
I have just worked with Denise he is very thorough to detail
I love your channel man
Thanks!
I´ll be waiting for a review of Villeneuve´s very best film: Incendies
4:03 "Life's hard choices don't suddenly stop after you've made the right or responsible decision. It's a battle that never ends." This hit me personally. My struggle with depression and thoughts of suicide are still persistent, but just because I did the right thing in the eyes of my family, getting a job, they now believe I'm okay. I will never blame them though. We all have our own battles after all. Stay strong on the path folks!
Another great video.
I love the movie Sicario. It shows so well the different sides to the drug conflict and the ending with the son of the Mexican police officer is really well done.
Thank you 👍
Dude, this is an amazing video. Congrats!
Thank you 👍
Dude please recommend movies or make a list of movies people should watch . I saw prisoners (cause you mentioned it in this video )today and it's all I've been thinking about all day I can't shake it
Love your videos! Nuanced, interesting insights!
Glad you liked it 👍
This was really good man keep up the good work .
Thank you very much!
Prisoner is like a movie that is just amazing I don't words when I first watched it I was just shocked and the ending ... Oh man.
Congratulations for the spot-on pronunciation of his name
I never knew these movies had this deep meaning. Thank you people ❤.
Glad you liked it 👍
They don't. A lot of this is overanalyzing. The cinematography in Sicario isn't "a metaphor for our perception of good and evil." It's just great cinematography
i waited for a pretty long time for this
Prisoners is one of the best movies of all time. Lowkey anything Jake's in is award worthy but him working with Denis makes things even more fire.
Almost every time I watch Denis's movie, I just sit there speechless when the movie ends.
wanna watch this so bad but havent seen all his work and dont wanna be spoiled. be back next week hopefully
Such an amazing video! Love
Thank you 👍
Enemy and Prisoners are my personal favorites mainly because of Jake.
Man that video was amazing
Glad you liked it 👍
I think all his movie is all bout the character, from knowing nothing - realize something - conclusion.. From Polytechnique the man who strugle with feminisme to bladerunner who wonder hw tobe human.
I can tell all of them is all bout characteristic and u can relate to this life.. If u kno DV style, u probably kno what u expect from his next project..
Amazing job as always guys.
Thank you very much 👍
my favorite director
superbe vidéo, comme toujours, sa fait du bien de voir des créateurs québécois montré sur youtube!
Merci beaucoup!
I thoroughly enjoyed your video !! 😊 Thank you
Thank you!
@@Screened hey mam !! make one video about Terrence Malick`s movies and its deep contemplation !!
- What's your favorite Denis Villeneuve's movie?
- Yes
All three movies are my favourite. But Sicario, oh man, I love it.
So bladerunner 2049 is my favorite movie, and i recently watched it with my sister-in-law and she is the type to look at her phone during movies. So as you can guess i had to pause the movie and explain what was happening, alot. It was infuriating.
4:18 I don't see that scene as the pregnant wife trying to control him, but rather she realizing he's back in his old ways and being scared at him for that (the spider seems to be shrinking in defense, as if it were scared, that's why I think of it that way). Either way, Enemy is a very ambiguous film, so there' bound to be different interpretations of it, and the rest of the things you said about it clarified some things I hadn't catch about it.
That's what I wanted to add, but honestly, this is a great analysis on a great director. Great work, man :)
You're right the wife isn't trying to control him. I was just referencing Adam's point of view 👍
fantastic analysis, i really love it.
Thank you! Glad you liked it 👍
Perhaps the greatest director working right now
He's on a roll👍
@@Screened 2049 BLEW me away so I'm over the moon about Dune
Amazing analysis and video! Thanks for this. You've won a new subscriber! :)
Thank you I'm glad you liked it 👍
Amazing analysis
Thank you!
You should do this for his whole filmography!! Then maybe do the same thing for other directors!
