Jian speaks with Canadian director Atom Egoyan about Devil's Knot, his
feature film about the infamous "West Memphis Three" and the unsolved
murder of three young boys. Egoyan explains his fascination with the
unknown, the unsettling complexity of human nature, and how we deal
with our desire for revenge.
Egoyan comes to Q at a busy time. The release of Devil's Knot
coincides with the debut of his take on the classic opera Cosi Fan
Tutte. The colourful and comedic production is a world away from his
work on the grittier film.
"It is very strange to be talking about Devil's Knot and Cosi Fan
Tutte in the same interview," he said. "There couldn't be two more
opposite works."
