Atom Egoyan is a natural darling of the
Toronto International Film Festival -- perhaps having some home court advantage can't hurt afterall... This year, he is in TIFF with "
Adoration," screening as a Special Presentation. The
Sony Pictures Classics release (Stateside) is described by TIFF's co-director
Cameron Bailey in the festival catalog as showing Egoyan "grappling with how to live amidst fear and uncertainty," and praises the feature as "among is very best work." Two of the film's stars,
Rachel Blanchard and
Devon Bostick were a cute red and black contrast at an even hosted by SPC earlier in the fest.
