. . . some lessons for The Blue Room.
from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exotica_%28film%29 :
- Exotica is a 1994 Canadian film set primarily in and around the Exotica strip club in Toronto, Canada. It was written and directed by Atom Egoyan. Music used includes "Montagues and Capulets".
- The 'Exotica' is a nightclub on the outskirts of Toronto, where Eric, DJ and MC, watches nightly as his ex-girlfriend Christina performs. Watches jealously, especially as far as the extra attentions regular customer Francis garners are concerned. Thomas, meanwhile and erstwhile, goes through a series of, um, interesting situations involving his pet shop, a gruff taxi-sharing stranger, unexpected tickets to the opera and smuggled eggs of a rare bird. Multiple story lines unfold in a splendid tangle of cutbacks, forward and backward references and recurring themes, all woven around the Exotica, its customers and employees. A calm roller-coaster ride of a movie, visually and intriguingly and emotionally moving. O, and the sound track is notable, too. Written by Eddi Sommer <eddi@gmd.de>
- This psycho thriller is true to it's subjects as well as being complex, dynamic , and overly dramatic. How something so long ago in ones past, seemingly trivial, then years later with more significant trauma, turns repressed emotions into a dysfunctional life, and distorted thinking. This is all merged into a psycho menagerie that unfolds piece by piece to perfection. Written by benignjamin
