Telluride 2016

Telluride 2016
THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY

really, really good films - they made my day

Arrival

This film by Director Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Incendies) is sure to be a classic. If you watched this film 10 years from now it would still inspire the same awe as the first time you saw it. A linguistic scholar (Amy Adams) is hauled off by government agents to a site where one of 18 space craft hovers. The goal, with the help of a physicist (Jeremy Renner) and a military specialist (Forest Whitaker), is to figure out how to communicate with the visitors from outer space. Stunning. Oh, and if you figure out the ending, let me know.
