TIFF 2009 Day 5: Atom Egoyan’s Chloe

Date:

Just plain silly from the get-go, Atom Egoyan’s Chloe might be my guilty pleasure of this festival/year with its Fatal Attraction-esque nature and the film’s foot soldiers Julianne Moore and Amanda Seyfried losing their clothes in an unclad lust fest, I’m finding myself in the minority with this one, having actually liked the film how Moore plays serious and distraught in dramatic parody, and how Seyfried sorta of plays the alter ego of what she didn’t play in Jennifer’s Body. A welcome departure from recent politically-motivated offerings and one notch above his last romp – Where the Truth Lies, this spicy Red Shoe diary number will have folks laughing in the most preposterous of places. Looking for this to get a pick-up and a potentially strong box office cull. Full review coming soon.
