Denis Villeneuve's sequel to Ridley Scott's 1982 masterpiece stars Ryan Gosling as a blade runner who uncovers a secret that threatens what remains of society. Roger Deakins' Oscar-winning cinematography uses vast, meticulously lit practical sets — shooting as much as possible in-camera — to create a hauntingly beautiful dystopian world that earned the film Academy Awards for Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects.
