Exotica 1994.
At a men's strip club Exotica, a man, Francis finds solace their with a girl who usually dances for him, a pet store owner Thomas who smugglers in eggs, the club's DJ Eric who knows about Francis's past and pain which leads to a climax.
Don't be fooled about the title, this is not about men living out their fantasies, yeah there is nudity but it's mild, this isn't one of those erotic thrillers it's more about drama.
Director Atom Egoyan made this brilliantly, with the characters having some background stories that are never boring and how they seem connected through some circumstances and how they can move on. From start to finish its entertaining and never seems to get off track or be boring. Worth a watch.
