{"product_id":"atom-egoyan-emma-wilson-9780252076206","title":"Atom Egoyan","description":"The films of Atom Egoyan immerse the viewer in a world of lush sensuality, melancholia, and brooding obsession. From his earliest films \u003ci\u003eNext of Kin\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFamily Viewing, \u003c\/i\u003e to his coruscating \u003ci\u003eExotica\u003c\/i\u003e and recent projects such as \u003ci\u003eWhere the Truth Lies, \u003c\/i\u003e Egoyan has paid infinite attention to narrative intricacy and psychological complexity. Traumatic loss and its management through ritual return as themes in his films as he explores personal scenarios of mourning and broader issues of genocide, exile, and postmemory, in particular in relation to his own Armenian heritage. \u003cp\u003eIn this study, Emma Wilson closely analyzes the range of Egoyan's films and their visual textures, emotional control, and perverse beauty. Offering a full-scale chronological overview of Egoyan's work on films up to and including \u003ci\u003eWhere the Truth Lies, \u003c\/i\u003e Wilson shows the persistence and development of certain structures and themes in Egoyan's cinema: questions of exile and nostalgia, trauma and healing, the family and sexuality. While drawing on ideas about intercultural cinema, Wilson also sets Egoyan's films in the context of contemporary Canadian cinema and European art-house cinema. Egoyan's own comments on his films thread throughout Wilson's analyses, and the book features a recent interview with the director.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emma Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252076206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252076206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Emma Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447607144703,"sku":"9780252076206","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0bd97859-908b-4e91-968c-193bac80298d.jpg?v=1777233820","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/atom-egoyan-emma-wilson-9780252076206","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
