Atom Egoyan is our child- we love the guy and he never lets us down.
David Cronenberg is no slouch but Egoyan is more consistent. He came to Miami for the American premieres of Speaking Parts and Family Viewing and I was fascinated. He matured as an artist with his masterpieces: Exotica and The Sweet Hereafter, which had more of an emotional impact on me than his earlier films. I also appreciate the way he experiments with narrative structure. I eagerly await Ararat's release here(and Cronenberg's Spider).
Johann, one of my fave films of the 90s was made for Canadian T.V.: John N. Smith's The Boys of Saint Vincent. Have you seen it?
