Blade Runner 2049 picks up 30 years after the events of the first film, in an almost apocalyptic world. Ryan Gosling (back in Nicolas Winding Refn mode) plays K, an LAPD Blade Runner, haunted by memories of a childhood he cannot remember. But as profoundly magnificent as Blade Runner 2049 is – and by God is it magnificent – my favourite Villeneuve film remains Incendies. Blade Runner 2049 is bold, challenging cinema, an almost Biblical success; like Terence Malick’s The Tree of Life, Martin Scorsese’s Silence, and Nolan’s Interstellar, it positively demands multiple viewings.
