Written and directed by the Manetti Bros., The Arrival of Wang works on many levels and is more than just the sum of its parts. On the surface it’s a science fiction fantasy about alien life on earth. Beneath that surface and you have a well made psychological drama about the war on terror, torture, government and most of all prejudice.
The success of The Arrival of Wang is down to three key things: the script from Antonio Manetti and Marco Manetti, a fantastic cast – especially legendary Italian actor Ennio Fantastichini, and direction from the Manetti Bros, who helm the film with a real sense of claustrophobia that only heightens the tension of the film as a whole.
The film twists and turns it’s way through the story, never revealing who is right or who is wrong or what the real story is behind the motivations of both the government agents and the mysterious Mr. Wang.
If you like your fantasy and sci-fi to come with a social and political edge then The Arrival of Wang (aka L’Arrivo di Wang) is essential viewing.
