Steven Spielberg’s classic humanistic postmodern masterpiece that depicts the life-transforming experiences of Richard Dreyfuss who becomes an impassioned participant in an otherworldly spectacle. His family life is devastated by his obsession but he acquires a spiritual surrogate family along the way.  Vilmos Zsigmond won an Oscar for his dazzling cinematography.

“A film of incredible power and intensity. It is also, and ultimately, reassuring.” – Arthur Knight, Hollywood Reporter

“Spielberg’s greatest work.” – Tom Huddleston, Time Out

“While other Spielberg films get recognisable attention (and rightly so), Close Encounters should be ranked amongst his greatest and underrated masterpieces.” – Kelechi Ehenulo, Set the Tape

“This film moved me, challenged me, provoked me and enlightened me.” – Richard Propes, TheIndependentCritic.com
