Jeanine, an earnest theatre director, has been given the task of remounting her former mentor’s most famous work, the opera Salome. Haunted by dark and disturbing memories from her past, she allows her repressed trauma to color the present as she re-enters the opera world after so many years away.
“Art and life are inextricably entangled in Atom Egoyan‘s ‘Seven Veils’, a wildly ambitious, visually intoxicating reinterpretation of the Richard Strauss opera, ‘Salome’, that proves to possess almost as many layers as the Biblical princess’ famous dance routine.” ~ Michael Rechtshaffen, The Hollywood Reporter
