NOTES

Title from title frames

The deeply fractured family depicted in FAMILY VIEWING consists of Stan, a mild sexual sadist; Sandra, his live-in mistress and video bondage partner; and his 17-year old son Van. Van’s deep resentment of his father becomes the catalyst of a plot to free his beloved grandmother from an old age home and establish a new, blissfully “happy” family. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Atom Egoyan (*The Sweet Hereafter*) weaves an ironic tale of characters who seem most alive when they are captured on videotape. Winner of Best Canadian Feature Film at the **Toronto International Film Festival**. Winner of an Interfilm Award at the **Berlin International Film Festival**
