Ivan Denisovich is the patronymic name of convict SHCHA-854 Shukhov, of the 104th work gang – address, hut 9 the GULAG.

The young captain of artillery, whose ‘crime’ was to include a few mildly derogatory terms about Stalin in a private letter to a friend, was pulled out of combat so he could be uselessly tipped into the ever-open maw of systematised Soviet slave labour.

In fact, Villeneuve has stated he hopes to turn the first book into two films - a move that would allow him to stay even closer to the events in the over-400-page book. This is a good sign for fans of the original book, especially those who didn't enjoy the changes in David Lynch's 1984 Dune film. Though Villeneuve's Dune isn't the first film adaptation of the beloved book, all signs point to a relatively faithful adaptation of the original novel. |
