Description:
The only real event in Calendar happens in between the lines, yet this sliver of a movie will remain in your head long after many more action-packed movies have faded away. Canadian writer-director Atom Egoyan plays a photographer who is sent to photograph Armenian churches for a calendar; but while there, his wife (Arsinee Khanjian), who functions as his interpreter, begins to fall in love with their local guide (Ashot Adamyan). Upon returning to Canada, the photographer examines his film for evidence of the affair, to which he was oblivious, and hires bilingual escorts to conduct a peculiar personal ritual so that he can exorcise his sense of betrayal. The movie was made for less than the average Hollywood movie spends on catering, but its emotional richness and simple sense of loss are potent and elegant. --Bret Fetzer
