Written and directed by Atom Egoyan, Seven Veils tells the story of Jeanine (Amanda Seyfried), a theatre director who has finally re-entered the world of opera. Tasked with staging her former mentor’s most famous work, Salome, Jeanine finds herself increasingly haunted by her past experiences. Battling repressed trauma, Jeanine’s world begins to unravel, threatening both her professional and personal lives in ways that she could have never imagines. In this 1on1, we speak to Egoyan about whether or not stories are live and his attraction to SALOME.
