The Strange Case of Atom Egoyan

The strange case of Atom Egoyan attempts to reveal filmmaker Atom Egoyan's creative process, throwing light on what might be its most enigmatic and personal side: writing. Starting with his most recent film, we proceed backwards, gradually unveiling his 13 feature films, up to his early unreleased camera tests, heralding his future works. Thus can we closely penetrate and fathom out the mysterious world of Atom Egoyan: a surveyor of the human mind, and an artist whose work has shattered the rules of film language, by blowing up several of cinema's conventional narrative means.
