    Atom Egoyan on Devil's Knot and the murky waters of morality

    Q with Jian Ghomeshi

    Listen to the interview here:
    http://www.cbc.ca/q/popupaudio.html?clipIds=2431936954

    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."
