THIS WEEK: CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND
Director's Cut - new 35mm print!
Steven Spielberg followed JAWS with this epic science fiction adventure about a disparate group of people who attempt to contact alien intelligence. Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) is an electrical lineman who witnesses an unidentified flying object. Neary's obsession with proving what he saw eventually puts him in contact with others who've had close encounters with alien spacecraft, including a French researcher who believes that we can use a musical language to communicate with alien visitors (played by celebrated French filmmaker François Truffaut). Lacombe's theory is put to the test when a band of government researchers and underground UFO enthusiasts join for an exchange with the alien visitors.
