Interview with Atom Egoyan (Chloe)

Director Atom Egoyan is no stranger to controversy, so it was only natural that he took on the challenge of directing Chloe. He was immediately drawn to the complexities and deception that the characters faced and couldn’t resist the opportunity to bring their stories to the big screen.

Chloe stars Amanda Seyfried in the title role as a young woman who knows exactly how to use her sexuality. When Catherine (Julianne Moore), a successful doctor, begins to question her husband David's (Liam Neeson) fidelity, she sets out to resolve her suspicions with Chloe’s help. Soon caught in a web of sexual desire, Catherine finds herself on a journey that places her family in great danger.

Tribute’s Bonnie Laufer spoke with Egoyan at the Toronto International Film Festival about his bold casting choices and what it was like to shoot a movie for the first time from a script that he didn’t write himself.
