Atom Egoyan

Where The Truth Lies

Interviewed by Adrian Hennigan

“ I just needed to do a film that was really different and enjoyable ”

Atom Egoyan is one of cinema's quirkier souls. For years he's made exotic arthouse dramas, tipping his toe into the mainstream occasionally with the likes of The Sweet Hereafter. Now he dives right in with the sleazy and immensely enjoyable Where The Truth Lies, starring Kevin Bacon and Colin Firth.
