Fragmented, with no plot, beautiful filmed and a great sound track. But after half an hour without having/getting a clue about what its about, my thoughts began to drift - and it was time to stop waisting more time.

O Corretor estreava há 30 anos no Festival de New York. Atom Egoyan era tão sensacional nos anos 90, quase Lynchiano no seu modo de retratar a estranheza das pequenesas do dia a dia. BlurayRip RARBG.

Weird, Lynchian, and ultimately rewarding. But if you're gonna have adulterous gay sex in the same motel that your family's staying at, you might want to close the curtains.

Egoyan knows how to create these little communities. That are eccentric and crazy and lonely but beautiful.

Egoyan might be the best Canadian director?

Odd individual scenes that slowly start to overlap and make more sense, revealing several interesting themes. It often has an almost Lynch-ian atmosphere that I really enjoyed. The end result is a little weird and it doesn't quite gel together that nicely, leaving me with a bit of an empty feeling. Still, there were some striking images to be found here.

Stylistically impressive neo-noir about the artificialities behind our relationships.
