You can tell Dune Part 2 was a great movie because even in the last scene when Paul was fighting Feyd-Rautha to decide the Emperor's fate and we all knew he was going to win, the tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife.

I feel we don't talk enough about the Emperor's palace in Kaitain.

The palace scenes are set at the Brion tomb, also known as the Brion sanctuary, in San Vito d'Altivole near Treviso, Italy.

It was designed by Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa between 1968–1978 for Onorina Brion, widow of Giuseppe Brion, as a sign of love and affection for her husband. That's why the symbolism recalls the concepts related to conjugal love and indissolubility of a loving bond.

Analyzing this aspect of the tomb, I find it particularly interesting that when Irulan talks about Muad'dib with the Reverend Mother, she is passing by a window shaped as a vesica piscis (a recurring feature of Scarpa's work). This symbol consists of two rings, one with its edges covered with blue mosaics and the other with red mosaics, representing the couple's union in marriage. (A foreshadowing?)

At the same time, I feel we have to remember that this place is, in fact, a sanctuary. A sacred place where life and death connect (it also has a private chapel).

The architect himself explained that: “I have tried to put some poetic imagination into it, though not in order to create poetic architecture but to make a certain kind of architecture that could emanate a sense of formal poetry….The place for the dead is a garden...I wanted to show some ways in which you could approach death in a social and civic way; and further what meaning there was in death, in the ephemerality of life”.

Which i find really meaningful knowing that the palace is also the place where house Atreides's doom was carefully planned.

thinking about paul atreides and touch and the way chani strokes his cheek exactly the way his father used to and the way his mother always cups him with both of her hands like she used to cup him within her womb and the way chani and gurney both cling to him with relief when they find out he's alright and the fact that by the end of the second film he has distanced himself from his loved ones so immensely that the only people he touches are his enemies and even then he only touches them in order to subjugate them

DUNE pt. 2 + kisses

[joelchaimholtzman]

Here is a new DUNE painting I just finished! This is Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV, ruler of the known universe.

Due to copious Spice consumption the character looks like he is in his thirties, even though he is more than twice as old. I wanted to portray him being youthful, arrogant, but wise and conniving at the same time.

The Halo is a throwback to the Incal series by Jodorowsky (who was supposed to direct the first Dune movie) and Moebius.

I hope you like it!

Next week, either a Jessica Atreides or Gurney Halleck. Let me know which one!

All the best,

JCH
