TIFF 2023: Atom Egoyan says ‘Seven Veils’ explores themes that have haunted him for years

“This film is very related to my personal experiences and my hope is that everyone can take in this finished version.”

Similar to the sequence of fragmented flashbacks that allude to an unusual connection between a father and daughter in “Seven Veils,” Egoyan’s 1996 opera production chose to portray scenes from Salome’s childhood, insinuating instances of sexual assault. It’s a choice that raised concerns from prominent cultural critics of the time who felt violated by the imagery.

“Here you have a woman in ‘Seven Veils,’ dealing with her abusive, suppressed history as she directs this play and it’s the kind of scenario I’ve always been drawn to…how those in power, similar to parents, can work to reconfigure and bury our histories.”Story continues below advertisement “I gradually came to discover that she was being abused by her father,” says Egoyan of his first love. “No one talked about it and she certainly wasn’t talking or trying to think about it.

“Seven Veils,” he says, is another avenue to explore the complexities of what often lurks behind our veiled surfaces. It’s a concept he also explores in the 1994 psychological drama “Exotica,” and 2009’s erotic thriller “Chloe,” which also starred Seyfried.
