Sony Adoration
My final Cannes event was a Sony Pictures Classics press luncheon at the Carlton Beach for Atom Egoyan's Adoration, which costars Scott Speedman, Rachel Blanchard, Kenneth Welsh and Devon Bostick. I'll write something this weekend (I'm currently sitting at Nice Airport, running on battery), but there's been a respectful reaction among journos I've spoken to thus far. The IMDB plot keywords: "Irish Terrorist, Pregnant Girlfriend, Based On True Story."
IHOP publicist Jessica Uzzan (l.), Atom Egoyan (r., seated).
Variety's Anne Thompson, The Envelope's Pete Hammond, SPC's Michael Barker at today's luncheon -- 5.23, 1:25 pm
Free grub.

Atom Egoyan's "Exotica" is one of the greatest movies ever made!

what the heck happened to Egoyan after SWEET HEREAFTER. He hasn't made a film worthy
of his talents since. Had high hopes for him, too. Here's hoping!

To EOTW --
Good lord you could not be more wrong. There's some minor things on the IMDB that I don't think made it to DVD, but have you seen Felicity's Journey and Where the Truth Lies? Both at least are A minus efforts, and Ararat is just awesome. It's too bad that Where the Truth Lies didn't make much of a dent anywhere because the DVD ended up being bare bones, and Egoyan produces some remarkable commentaries.
I agree that the Sweet Hereafter is pure brilliance, (I can still vividly picture Sarah Polley's steely face at the moment she decides to lie about the bus crash). But give his other works their due. They ain't bad and certainly are better than 90% of the other films out there...

Scott Speedman in an Egoyan film? What's next? La Bute directing a trashy Sam Jackson thriller for Screen Gems?
