With great skill in the art of cinema, Atom Egoyan explores the vulnerability and mytery of human community. Without imposing any particular perspective, and leaving many questions open, the film depicts the complexities of human lives as they struggle with sudden hurt and slow healing.

The Lucky Star
Directed by:
1997

The sincerity and great humanity of this work offers us an opportunity to appreciate a new dimension of joy, without any moralising. The characters, in spite of their own weaknesses, are moved intuitively to place themselves in the service of others and to do good, with most unexpected consequences.
