Dune

Visionary writer and director David Lynch took on Frank Herbert's epic Sci-Fi novel as his third feature. Set in the distant future where the whole universe is fighting over a spice found only on one planet, two families clash over to control of the planet where the mysterious inhabitants await a prophet. Despite the obvious flaws that comes to shrink the novel into one film, Lynch manages to deliver a spectacular film that's true to his dark vision. The production and costume design are dazzling as the film stands the test of time. The terrific cast includes Kyle MacLachlan, Francesca Annis, Jürgen Prochnow and Max von Sydow amongst others. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
