Exotica

Welcome to Club Exotica, a place where fantasies can become reality but where illusion runs amuck. Here, in a murky underworld of lust and longing, a lonely accountant named Francis falls for Christina, one of the dancers. Although Christina is already involved with someone, the club owner pushes her towards Francis and a dangerous game of deceit and duplicity begins… A multi-layered and mysterious portrayal of lives shaped by desire and delusion, Atom Egoyan’s bold erotic thriller is a stunning combination of directorial flair and keen philosophical insight that won him 13 international festival prizes, including a FIPRESCI award at Cannes 1994.
