Canada has few filmmakers that are household names.
Atom Egoyan is our child- we love the guy and he never lets us down.

Ararat is a powerful political piece that he's wanted to make for a long time. A labour of love shot not far from my city, he's made his "damn the torpedoes" film. I'm glad the reviews have been universally positive, because the film is stunning. Deep yet entertaining- once you get into the story you are INTERESTED.
Christopher Plummer is great- so is the lead- and of course, the always riveting Bogosian. Some people in these woods have said it's Egoyans' best- you decide. GREAT MOVIE
