Description

One of the defining independent films of the 1990s, Atom Egoyan’s mesmerizing international breakthrough Exotica takes the conventions of the psychological thriller into bold new territory—unsettling, dreamlike, and empathetic. At the neon-drenched Toronto strip club of the film’s title, a coterie of lost and damaged souls—including a man haunted by grief (Bruce Greenwood), a young woman with whom he shares an enigmatic bond (Mia Kirshner), an obsessive emcee (Elias Koteas), and a smuggler of rare bird eggs (Don McKellar)—search for redemption as they work through the traumas of their mysteriously interconnected histories in an obsessive cycle of sex, pain, jealousy, and catharsis. Masterfully weaving together past and present, Egoyan constructs a spellbinding narrative puzzle, the full emotional impact of which doesn’t hit until the last piece is in place.

super

This customer review refers to a alternative version.

also ich fand wohl, dass der film einen eigenen stil entwickelt. ja er lebt förmlich davon. gemessen an den 103 minuten laufzeit passiert eigentlich nicht sehr viel, trotzdem schafft es dieser film, eine ungeheure spannung aufzubauen, die sehr subtil daher kommt. und dies völlig ohne effekte. absolut zu empfehlen. soundtrack ist wirklich super.

Leider kann ich das von der Umsetzung nicht sagen. Kamera und Art Direction wirken ein wenig uninspiriert und das drückt auf den Sehgenuss. Irgendwie entwickelt der Film keinen eigenen Stil und wirkt vom Optischen her immer etwas billig.
Aber Schauspieler und Drehbuch sind erstklassig.
