Amanda Seyfried Shines in Atom Egoyan’s Operatic Drama 'Seven Veils'

The film explores themes of trauma, abuse, and artistic obsession through the lens of a Salome opera production.

Amanda Seyfried stars as Jeanine, a director tasked with reviving a provocative production of Richard Strauss's opera Salome, which reflects her own personal traumas.
Atom Egoyan draws from his real-life experiences with staging Salome, blending fictional elements with footage from his 1996 and 2023 productions.
The film delves into issues of sexual abuse, misogyny, and exploitation, both in the opera's story and in Jeanine's personal and professional life.
Seyfried's performance has been widely praised, particularly for her emotional depth and portrayal of a woman navigating immense pressure and past wounds.
Seven Veils premieres in select theaters on March 7, offering a thought-provoking narrative set against the backdrop of the opera world.
