As a child he gradually introduces her to a deadly poisonous plant
An earnest theater director has the task of remounting her former mentor's most famous work, the opera Salome. Some disturbing memories from her past will allow her repressed trauma to color the present.. This marks the second time that Amanda Seyfried has starred in a film directed by Atom Egoyan since Chloe (2009).. Referenced in Amanda the Jedi Show: I ALMOST Walked Out | The Best and Worst of TIFF 2023 (2023). There is an enthralling and haunting Hawthorne story where a father, a prominent avant garde physician, is fiercely protective of his daughter.
The woman is beautiful, and terrible
By the time she matures anyone who gets too close to her will suffer and die. The poison of the plant is infused in her life blood. "Don't you love," he asks "that no one can bring you down?" Her reply cuts to the bone. "Father, I would have preferred to love someone."Jeanine is a theater director trying, like the woman in the Hawthorne story, to break free from the shadow of heartless people. Suffering abuse from her father, mentor, husband, and now an arrogant actor, – abuse that they call "love" – Jeanine attempts to heal and go beyond them without losing what is essential and good about herself.
She struggles to break free from the traps set for her
To find something different."Take away one sense and others are heightened."I love Egoyan films for their depth, surprising twists, and explorations of intriguing themes (passion, wrongful judgments, abuse, attempts to find a way forward after wrongs are done, love, perspectives different from my own, and more). In following a woman adrift after abuse, Seven Veils continues in the typical Egoyan veins. It is set in the Canadian Opera Company building a few blocks away from where I watched the film's world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. While Egoyan spent too much time inside the theater for my taste, I understand why it was done. Egoyan directed the opera company's real life production of Salome and molded much of it into Seven Veils.
Off topic – why did Seyfried have surgery?
Even some of the actors in the actual opera are also in the film.Jeanine is skillfully brought to life by Amanda Seyfried. Not that she looks bad now, but she looks so much better in Egoyan's previous film, Chloe. (long sigh)As I think about Seven Veils I like it more. Moving beyond the trauma of abuse is a fascinating subject. Someone who said they loved me hurt me very much.
In Jeanine's battles I see my own
It is a struggle sometimes to see that I am worthy of love.
