It was almost a year ago when Atom Egoyan’s Adoration premiered in Cannes. I was on hand, and shot interviews on video with Egoyan and the film’s stars—Scott Speedman, Rachel Blanchard and Devon Bostick. Adoration was finally released in theatres on Friday—you can find my recent review of it at Star Trek Adoration. This week I’m heading back to Cannes for another festival. But before leaving, I thought I should slap those interviews together. Here they are, edited down to seven minutes:
