SEVEN VEILS Trailer: Amanda Seyfried Takes on the Opera in Atom Egoyan’s Psychological Drama

Amanda Seyfried in Atom Egoyan's SEVEN VEILS

Following its TIFF premiere in 2023, writer-director Atom Egoyan’s new film Seven Veils will finally be released in U.S. theaters. Reuniting with his Chloe star Amanda Seyfried, the psychological drama follows a theater director whose newest undertaking of the opera “Salome” forces her to question her memories and confront her dark past. It also stars Mark O’Brien, Douglas Smith, Rebecca Liddiard, Vinessa Antoine, Ambur Braid, Michael Kupfer-Radecky, and Maia Jae Bastidas. The movie was shot on location during the Canadian Opera Company’s staging of Egoyan’s acclaimed 2023 production of “Salome.” Ahead of its theatrical release on March 7, XYZ Films and Variance Films have released the official trailer.

Here’s the official synopsis:

After years away, theater director Jeanine (Academy Award® nominee Amanda Seyfried) re-enters the opera world to stage her former mentor’s most famous work. Haunted by dark and disturbing memories from her past, Jeanine allows her repressed trauma to color the present as her personal and professional lives begin to unravel. Renowned director Atom Egoyan (Exotica, The Sweet Hereafter) reunites with Seyfried in this visually stunning, propulsive work, filmed on location during the staging of Egoyan’s acclaimed production of “Salome.”
