Exotica

Atom Egoyan's dreamlike and empathetic international breakthrough is both a spellbinding narrative puzzle and one of the defining independent films of the 1990s.

At a neon-drenched Toronto strip club, a coterie of lost and damaged souls search for redemption as they work through the traumas of their mysteriously interconnected histories in an obsessive cycle of sex, pain, jealousy, and catharsis.
