30 H M DG W F I think rst eve got to talk about the stillsuits. Thats such an imortant costume. Its a uniform, but each is besoke. If the stillsuits dont ork, then the movie doesnt ork. Theres even a scene here the characters ust talk about hat there earing. Its one of those great moments that breaks the fourth all of costumes, so to seak. W es, it as the centeriece for both erbert and our director Denis illaneuve. Its the rst thing e attacked. The stillsuit is a distiller sstem. oure not suosed to lose an bod moisture.
