Polytechnique2009

Denis Villeneuve’s masterful immersion is imminent in this older film of his. Is there any film he has made in the last decade or so that has not been a masterpiece? This may not be his great masterpiece but it’s still a masterpiece in some sense just because of how he shoots the film, how he makes it absolutely captivating with his distinct way of storytelling. Right from the beginning he tries not to lose that solid grip on his craft. Really a special director for a reason.  There is something in his films that just makes me wanna just keep watching, whether the framing of a shot, cinematography, music, genius sound designing — I know these are handled by other genius artists in the background but for sure Denis Villeneuve has every hand in these departments— which makes this director my current all time favourite. Denis Villeneuve’s immersion is something to crave for.
