The films of Atom Egoyan immerse the viewer in a world of lush
sensuality, melancholia, and brooding obsession. From his earliest
films Next of Kin and Family Viewing, to his coruscating Exotica
and recent projects such as Where the Truth Lies, Egoyan has paid
infinite attention to narrative intricacy and psychological
complexity. Traumatic loss and its management through ritual return
as themes in his films as he explores personal scenarios of
mourning and broader issues of genocide, exile, and postmemory, in
particular in relation to his own Armenian heritage. In this study,
Emma Wilson closely analyzes the range of Egoyan's films and their
visual textures, emotional control, and perverse beauty. Offering a
full-scale chronological overview of Egoyan's work on films up to
and including Where the Truth Lies, Wilson shows the persistence
and development of certain structures and themes in Egoyan's
cinema: questions of exile and nostalgia, trauma and healing, the
family and sexuality. While drawing on ideas about intercultural
cinema, Wilson also sets Egoyan's films in the context of
contemporary Canadian cinema and European art-house cinema.
Egoyan's own comments on his films thread throughout Wilson's
analyses, and the book features a recent interview with the
director.
