This month’s film: “Contact”
When Dr. Ellie Arroway (Jodie Foster) hears a signal being broadcast from outer space, the race is on to interpret humanity’s first contact with alien intelligence in this adaptation of Carl Sagan’s thoughtful novel about the divide between science and religion. Matthew McConaughey co-stars as Palmer Joss, a Christian philosopher who is Ellie’s friend as well as her lover. Robert Zemeckis directs.
“Less sci-fi blockbuster, more spiritual thinkpiece, this is a Close Encounters Of The Third Kind for the X-Files generation.” –Neil Jeffries
