Wissenswertes
Atom Egoyan says that the film was inspired by three experiences: being taken to a lesbian club where women onstage performed as men; having a tax auditor suggest to him (incorrectly) that he was being cheated by a business partner; and realizing as a teenager that a friend was trapped in an incestuous relationship.

Patzer
In one scene when Eric is talking with Cristina walking on the grass, you can see a microphone at the top of the screen.

GREAT MOVIE...MISLEADING ART WORK

When you first look at the VHS box for this movie, it looks like a slightly upscale version of Showgirl. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is a sad, painful, mysterious movie that explores human relationships in a very unusual way. Yes, lots of it takes place at a strip club,but it's not very sexy or explicit.

You have to pay careful attention to this movie. It bounces around in time, and all the threads of the plot don't come totally together until the very last moment of the movie. But it has a devastating and gripping payoff. ONLY FOR INTELLIGENT MOVIE GOERS. It's a tough movie, kinda slow, but it is unusual, inventive and in my opinion, very satisfying.

Also recommend THE SWEET HEREAFTER, directed by Atom Egoyan as well. Same fractured structure and sense of sadness. But beautiful.
