| Poll question: DU film snobs: Favorite Atom Egoyan film? |
|
Edited on Wed Oct-29-03 10:42 PM by Finnfan
I love Egoyan's slow-moving, cerebral films. I'll admit up front that my favorite is "Exotica". This is a film that convinces you that it's going to wallow in the worst of human behavior, only to celebrate the best of human behavior. What's your favorite?

| 1. I find Egoyan really, really pretentious. |
|
That said, his cameo in "Escape from The Newsroom" poked so much fun at his pretention, I have to forgive him...

I liked "The Sweet Hereafter" - I like all of his films - but I lvoed "Exotica". It is especially surprising if you know nothing about Egoyan and this it will bear some relation to the DVD box cover. It is a film this literally changed my life.

I knew his sister Eve many years ago, but didn't much like her. She's done a CD or two lately of modern piano music, not very well played imho. Just trying to ride the famous brother's coattails, I guess.
