Contact

Description

By Robert Zemeckis. With Jodie Foster, Matthew McConaughey, John Hurt. Astrophysicist Ellie Arroway (Jodie Foster) scans for sound signals in the universe in search of extraterrestrial life. Funded by more or less eccentric billionaires, she worries the government when one day her research finally seems to bear fruit. Alongside Matthew McConaughey and John Hurt, Jodie Foster delivers a heartfelt performance in this atheist film marked by the early death of a father passionate about astronomy. In this predecessor to Interstellar, which American critic Roger Ebert called the "most engaging and subtle film about extraterrestrial intelligence since Close Encounters of the Third Kind," the director of Back to the Future handles effects with ingenuity, notably making the "mirror scene" an iconic one-shot.
