Thrillers are a genre that can transcend the boundaries of language. A mystery remains one despite the language. Which is to say, irrespective of the original language of the film, a thriller can be enjoyed by all. Moreover, when it comes from an industry icon like the likes of Denis Villeneuve, you know it is a must watch.
Most recently, Villeneuve directed the masterpiece duology: ‘Dune: Part One’, as well as ‘Dune: Part Two’. Apart from this, the prolific multi-award-winning Canadian filmmaker has helmed an impressive slate including titles like ‘Blade Runner 2049’, ‘Incendies’, ‘Prisoners’, ‘Sicario’, and more.
His 2016 sci-fi drama ‘Arrival’ continues to find a spot on the list of the best science-fiction films of all time. Starring Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker, and more, the film is centered around Louise Banks, a linguistics expert, who along with her team, must interpret the language of aliens who have descended to Earth in a mysterious spaceship.
The intricate plot is followed by breathtaking cinematography, and clubbed together, the two make this title a must watch. Based on the award-winning novella ‘Story of Your Life’ by Ted Chiang, the stunning film builds itself like a puzzle that will undoubtedly make you gasp out loud upon completion.
