Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two arrives in cinemas this weekend. Though it’s set in a distant future filled with spaceships, lasers and forcefields, viewers might find something more old-fashioned in its feudalistic setting dominated by dukes, barons, princesses and emperors. This is a universe crafted around royal houses, gladiatorial arenas and ritualised combat. Its characters are governed by arcane tradition and whispered superstition. It’s positively medieval.
