Film Overview
An unpredictable satire about “Oedipal unrest in Couch Potato Kingdom,” FAMILY VIEWING offers a new twist on teenage rebellion in the electronic age. This kinky, contemporary film is consistently funny in its approach to peternal dominance, adolescent sexuality, and a quest for lost roots. Atom Egoyan, the award-winning director of the 9th CIFF's U.S. premiere of NEXT OF KIN conjures intrigue out of irony and sentiment out of cruelty in this unexpected interpretation of family entertainment.
