Speaking Parts

Directed by Atom Egoyan .
With Michael McManus, Arsinée Khanjian, Gabrielle Rose.
Canada, 1989, 35mm, color, 92 min.

A postmodern thriller about loss, love, power, and the distance modern technology puts between us. The story of four people—an actor/gigolo (McManus), a frustrated chambermaid (Khanjian), an obsessed writer (Rose), and the film producer who manipulates them all—is filmed as if we were watching their machinations through the lens of a surveillance camera.
