Directed by Denis Villeneuve and based on Ted Chiang’s 1998 novella Story of Your Life, the intellectual drama with a genre twist, stars Amy Adams as Louise Banks, an expert linguist who is hired by the government to decipher an extraterrestrial language when a dozen alien spacecrafts pop into the atmosphere and hover mysteriously above the ground.“I decided early on that the voice would feature prominently in the score for ARRIVAL - it seemed a very natural choice given the fact that the film is very much about language and about how , if such a momentous occasion arose, we would take on the task of communicating with a culture that is completely alien to us. Amy Adams' main protagonist in the film is a linguist who is part of an elite team that is tasked with finding answers to the mystery of a group of spacecraft landing on various different sites on the earth. - Jóhann Jóhannsson
