Denis Villeneuve directs Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford in this long awaited sequel to Ridley Scott's 1982 film Blade Runner.
The original film had an extraordinary visual aesthetic, one of the last science-fiction films to have its special effects created without digital technology. It also had a story which, though leaving some important matters ambiguous, seemed impossible to follow without denigrating its effectiveness. Curiously, the film was set in an imagined 2019, and so the close approach of this year, without the developments foreseen by the film, also made a sequel problematic.
