Few directors in the modern era have had a rise as meteoric as Denis Villeneuve's. After spending the early 2010s as a cult favorite and critical darling with Incendies, Prisoners, and Sicario, he truly put himself on the map with 2016's Arrival. That film, widely considered one of the best of the decade, earned him his first Oscar nominations for Best Director and Best Picture, and since then, he's become the go-to guy for thought-provoking, epic science fiction blockbusters.
