This week on “Kill the Cat”, we discuss Denis Villeneuve’s 2016 film "Arrival", with screenplay by Eric Heisserer, adapted from the novella "Story of Your Life" by Ted Chiang. In this episode, we will be breaking down why "Arrival", being a science-fiction film about aliens, feels so real both on the page and on the screen. We will be examining how the screenwriting, cinemtography, production design and score combine to anchor this alien story in the very human themes of communication, connection, and loss.
These episodes are also available on YouTube or wherever you listen to podcasts.
