Atom Egoyans films are so fascinating, provocative and daring. Apparently his latest Where the Truth Lies is dividing audiences all over the world even in his adopted home country of Canada. But Where the Truth Lies is his most human film since the doubly Oscar nominated The Sweet Hereafter.
Where the Truth Lies is set in 1972 and cub reporter Karen O'Connor [Alison Lohman] has been hired to write a book by entertainer Vince Collins [Colin Firth]. A lifelong fan, she's more interested in finding out why he broke up with...
I love the fact that if you go to the film's website, and look at the cast and crew, and you look at Rupert Holmes' credits, you'll see that he's won the Edgar award for best mystery novel, that he's won the Tony...but it forgets to mention he's the guy who sang "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)"
Of course, that's how I'd go with it too. We all have that one job we don't mention on our resumes.
