NEW EGOYAN LOOKING PROMISING? (CHLOE)
I can’t remember if this is the film that my friend Ben told me wasn’t even good but I’m inclined to see anything that would be compred to The Sweet Hereafter as that is a gem stone. Ivan Reitman produced the remake of Chloe.
“The film is essentially about a doctor (Julianne Moore) who hires an escort (Amanda Seyfried) to seduce her husband (Liam Neeson), whom she suspects of cheating, though unforeseen events put the family in danger. “It’s an extreme examination of how to re-eroticize a marriage,” Egoyan told the Times. Lord knows his work always has a voyeuristic, erotic nature, so perhaps the material fits him like a glove.
Reitman also suggests the picture will be easier to swallow than recent fare. And we’re never ones to tell directors to go more commercial, but for the sake of his career, Egoyan could stand to go a little closer to the center. “I think for how good his movies are, a lot of them are hard to take,” Reitman said, adding. “The storytelling in ‘Chloe’ is faster than his historical work. But it is an Egoyan film in that it’s a very personal look at human psychology, with lots of small moments told through nuance. It’s less enigmatic.”
So, OK. I’ll check it out…
