Arrival by David Roche

Arrival by David Roche

A study of Denis Villeneuves genre-transcendent film.

My metric of success for any monograph can be boiled down to a simple question: When I finish reading nearly two hundred pages about the same movie, do I feel sick of thinking about it or eager for a rewatch? The fact that I had the latter reaction is a testament to Roche’s ability-not unlike Villeneuve’s, come to think of it-to entertain everyday audiences without sacrificing philosophical complexity or skimping on actual researchGood prose stylists, like good filmmakers, can have it both ways.
