Easily the film most accessible from Atom Egoyan, Chloe distills a soft perfume of erotism and interdict in its way of confronting its protagonists with their desires. Undoubtedly not a great wine, but a very beautiful entry while waiting for something more stimulant.

Catherine (Julianne Moore) believes that her husband David (Liam Neeson) is cheating on her. To be certain about it, she engages Chloe (Amanda Seyfried) in order to allure him. With the wire of the revelations of the beautiful escort, the mother is upset, noting that the beings which are invaluable to her conceal little by little.

Better is worth to make the remake of an ordinary feature-length film than to attack classic. Atom Egoyan understood this while updating the Natalie style, possibly the least convincing test of Anne Fontaine. For the first time since his beginnings, he did not touch with the scenario. That explains why the structure is linear, him which likes so much to play with chronological ellipses. The other topics approached are however faithful to its field of expertise, which includes secrecies, lies, adulteries, cleavage between the reality and the imaginary, the glance of a being which determines all, the squabble of the parents which will have effects on their children, technological advances where the means of communication separate very often more than they bring closer, etc

Obsessions which its amateurs will like, and which will be able to even join the new ones. Its usual distance (in fact, that characterizes the last decade) is this time replaced by a camera which follows the bodie. The spectator does not remain remote any more, but he feels these beings pass very close to themselves and burn of desire, a little as at the time of “Exotica”. A passion which makes its effect even if the exchanges are not perfect. Because if the characters remain complex, they are also difficult to decipher. Especially the attractive Chloe, interpreted with pleasure by Amanda Seyfried, whom actions and reactions do not convince completely, which can only alternate the range of the story.

That does not prevent the scenario writer from offering an exemplary staging, carried (sometimes supported) by the delicate sound track of the faithful collaborator Michael Danna and some popular tubes. The mirror of duality which can evoke the tender Breaking and Entering by Anthony Minghella expresses by apartment of heroes (all is with open surface as this seemingly perfect couple who discovers several closed doors on their way), the determining meetings which are always done in front of glasses (restaurant, hotel), this greenhouse which is in the middle of the stakes and, of course, this ultimate sequence.

More ignited than its recent Worship but undoubtedly less essential, Chloe by Atom Egoyan titillates the senses by its hot subject and the right performances of its actors. Although the story is sometimes too unbelievable and its last straight line can disappoint, it is rather difficult to balk in front of this really fascinating object of the big screen.

The actors Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Amanda Seyfried and Orlando Bloom have just joined the distribution of the film Albert Nobbs, a realization of Rodrigo Garcia.
