Canadian director Denis Villeneuve is one of the most critically and commercially successful filmmakers working today. He is particularly known worldwide for his sci-fi epics, including Arrival (2016), Blade Runner 2049 (2017), and the Dune series, as well as his gritty thrillers like Prisoners (2013) and Sicario (2015). However, before his arrival in Hollywood, Villeneuve directed four feature films in his home province of Quebec that have since been largely overshadowed by the success of his Hollywood blockbusters.
