Villeneuve’s direction is masterly and the cast is, like the film splendid. Blade Runner 2049 exalts themes of family, self-sacrifice and what it means to be human. On this episode of VICE Talks Film, we look back at the original Blade Runner with the people revisiting the story in a new sequel: Blade Runner 2049. The Replicant leader played by Hiam Abbass is also intense and makes an interesting assertion on the human condition to which they all aspire. Even more fascinating are such cold-blooded corporate honchos as Niander Wallace (Jared Leto) and his sidekick Luv (Sylvia Hoeks) who is anything but. Like Deckard in the cult classic, Officer K’s human boss Lt Joshi (Robin Wright) has no compunctions justifying killings to contain a secret whose unravelling could create even greater havoc. Aptly named Joi, she is a technological marvel, as wondrously captured on film as the cold, dark, dusty and surreal wilderness by cinematographer Roger Deakins.

Because the story plays out in a ravaged world – the setting is post-apocalyptic America – the celebration of the sanctity of life by a Replicant (android resembling a human) makes it all the more significant. That isnt to say that the movies characters are badly written, because Ks struggle with the possibility that his very existence might be the key to liberating.
