There’s no denying that Denis Villeneuve is a phenomenal talent. His exceptional directing skills and breathtaking movies have helped him gain a solid reputation in Hollywood. Apart from being thought-provoking, his works are also visually stunning. His upcoming directional, Dune: Part Two, will arrive in theatres worldwide on November 3. And fans are really hyped about it. Meanwhile, you can watch one of his classics on Prime Video, Arrival (2016).
Arrival revolves around a linguistics professor, Dr Louise Banks (Amy Adams), who gets recruited by the US government to communicate with aliens that have arrived on Earth before tensions pave the way for a large-scale war. Before her recruitment, a dozen extraterrestrial spacecraft enter Earth’s atmosphere and start hovering over various locations on the planet. Initially, she struggled to understand their language. After some time, she deciphers their language, enabling her to perceive time in a non– linear manner. She realises her flashbacks are glimpses of her future, accepts what is happening around her, and learns how to embrace the beauty of life and the unknown.
Arrival received critical acclaim upon its theatrical release. It received praise for its cinematography, acting performances, visuals, Villeneuve’s direction, non-linear narrative, and emotional depth. Amy Adams gives one of her best acting performances in this one. In addition, the film was particularly praised for its originality and philosophical tone.
This Denis Villeneuve directional was a box office success, earning over $203 million globally against its $47 million budget. It has an approval rating of 94% (based on 439 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.
