ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Academy Award nominated Director Denis Villeneuve (SICARIO, BLADE RUNNER 2049) brings to life a mind-bending tale of an expert linguist (Oscar nominee Amy Adams) who must race against time for answers after a mysterious spacecraft lands. Rated 94% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, this Oscar winning sci-fi drama is "a monolith, a megalith, but like the gigantic alien craft that comes to rest somewhere above Montana at the start of the film, despite its immensity it hovers elegantly overhead. The film defies gravity" (The Playlist). Also starring Oscar winner Forest Whitaker and Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner.

SYNOPSIS

Linguistics professor Louise Banks (Amy Adams) leads an elite team of investigators when gigantic spaceships touch down in 12 locations around the world. As nations teeter on the verge of global war, Banks and her crew must race against time to find a way to communicate with the extraterrestrial visitors. Hoping to unravel the mystery, she takes a chance that could threaten her life and quite possibly all of mankind.

SYNOPSIS

"It's a monolith, a megalith, but like the gigantic alien craft that comes to rest somewhere above Montana at the start of the film, despite its immensity it hovers elegantly overhead. The film defies gravity."

The Playlist

"Beautiful, provocative allegory that can bump your whole worldview off balance."

Daily Telegraph (UK)

"So sure is the stride of the narrative, and so bracing the air of expectation, that you feel yourself, like Louise, beginning to spin, and barely able to catch your breath."

New Yorker
