The Dune
La Duna
2025 · Film · documentary · 93 min
Directed by Stefanie Schroeder, Emerson Culurgioni
Who owns the land? Legend has it that ex-prime minister Silvio Berlusconi stole a dune in Sardinia, while the locals are fighting for their land and struggling with their dependence on tourism. La Duna is an irresistibly cathartic and humorous documentary that intertwines a portrait of a community with absurd almost-fairytales.

Few examples.
One time I asked about reading/filtering JSON in Azure SQL. Claude suggested a feature I didn't know of OPENJSON. ChatGPT did not, but used a more generalize SQL technique - the CTE.
Another time I asked about terror attacks in France. Here Claude immediately summarized the motives behind, whereas ChatGPT didn't.
Lastly I asked for a summary of the Dune book, as I read it a few years ago and wanted to read Dune Dark Messiah (after watching part 2 of the 2024 movie, which concludes the Dune 1 book). Here ChatGPT was more structured (which I liked) and detailed, whereas Claude's summary was more fluent but left out important details (I specifically said spoilers was ok).
Claude don't have access to searching internet or making plots. ChatGPT seems more mature with access to Wolfram alpha, latex for rendering math, matplotlib for making plots etc.
As a big fan of the Dune books, and having just seen the second film, I found this to be quite interesting to hear from the author himself about his inspiration and how he thought about the story.
