there's a thing that Villeneuve does that i love: he tells a story with plain bare spaces. the vertical entry tube in arrival. the heptapods' salon. the lawn on which the heptapods' ship is parked. the designer's room in blade runner. the archive library in blade runner. gurney's sparring studio in dune.
this is one of my favorite things done by Kosinski, too (the sky apartment in oblivion, the dude's apartment in tron2).
