The personnel director Atom Egoyan surprised to make a remake of a French film of 2003 with Anglo-Saxon distribution, where the highlight is the acting work and play of relationships between characters are created in the first half of the film. In the second half, the director introduces a change in tone and thematic little too dissonant and consonant with the development followed.
A doctor is suspected that her husband, a charismatic college professor, is cheating on him unfairly after losing a flight back to his house the night of his birthday. To verify contractual Chloe, a young high-class prostitute who tries to seduce him and check his loyalty. The doctor, Catherine, directs the setting of the meetings with her husband and Chloe has to tell what happened in detail, but increasing as they happen.
Seen the final result is not entirely clear the reasons that led to the always interesting director Atom Egoyan to make a new version of a European film and was received with considerable success in their home country, France, released just five years ago ago. "Nathalie" by Anne Fontaine is here, "Chloe", Emmanuelle Béart is replaced by Amanda Seyfried , Fanny Ardant by Julianne Moore and Gerard Depardieu by Liam Neeson. This drama of suspicion, mistrust and passions works thanks to the intriguing love triangle that develops between the three main characters, with their secrets and hidden desires, and the work of the three protagonists, especially achieved the scenes between Amanda Seyfried and Julianne Moore , because they create perfectly and using simple gestures and looks just the relationship that the script describes. Atom Egoyan gives a remarkably tight rhythm to the film, knowing creating and maintaining tension and pitch along the length until it reaches the third act. In this last installment, and emulating a bad turn of Hitchcock, "Chloe" change of registration and shake without excessive coherence development that had the history to date. One of the great virtues of the script also lost, because until all the final third were told the key elements that were showing more, making the subjectivity and the interplay of truths force cogieran great shape. Unfortunately the outcome is more graphic and less intelligent actions in words. "Chloe" is always an interesting film which certainly highlights the actors' performances, but the new provision of Atom Egoyan is questionable because the other great virtues of the film are created by the script, the same he became "Nathalie".
