A new Atom Egoyan film is cause for excitement among arthouse moviegoers. A stylish, self-assured filmmaker, his return to US screens is a welcome reunion for those who appreciate how he uses a non-linear plot structure to explore complex themes of fractured families, voyeurism, and obsession.
After several highly regarded early films, his charged erotic drama EXOTICA was a career breakthrough, winning the International Federation of Critics award at Cannes. His follow-up film THE SWEET HEREAFTER earned him even greater acclaim, garnering two Academy Award nominations.
His new film SEVEN VEILS starring Amanda Seyfried, mixes the filmmakers’ love of opera and cinema. In it, art imitates life, and this visually stunning film feels like a fever dream that sweeps you away.
Atom Egoyan remains one of the most challenging and talked-about directors on the international scene, and we got to sit down with him, to discuss his new film, SEVEN VEILS.
