Elegant and exquisitely kind, Atom Egoyan is also one of the great Canadian directors – born in Cairo in 1960 – of recent decades, responsible for fascinating works such as Exotic (1994), The sweet future (1997) and Ararat (2002). With Seven veils, which will premiere on the Filmin platform on July 11, Egoyan signs his most complete film of the last decade, a meditation on the turbulent process of creating a work of art in which Amanda Seyfried plays the director of the new version of a production of the opera Salome which she herself worked on as a young woman. Inherited from her mentor, the project is a poisoned gift that stirs up family traumas and collides with the new sensibility of a post-Me Too society.
