Quebecois filmmaker Denis Villeneuve has received one of France’s highest cultural honours for his contributions to cinema.
The “Dune” director was awarded the insignia of Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters by French culture minister Rachida Dati.
Dati says in a statement that the director was recognized for his “exceptional” career and contributions to the global influence of French-speaking cinema talents.
In addition to “Dune” and its sequel, Villeneuve has helmed blockbusters such as “Blade Runer 2049,” “Arrival” and “Sicario.”
He is currently working on the third film in the “Dune” saga.
The Order of Arts and Letters honours individuals who have distinguished themselves through their artistic or literary achievements, or through contributions that have elevated the influence of arts and culture in France and around the world.
