Egoyan's rise took place in the late 1980s and early 1990s when independent film was becoming a force in Hollywood. He is generally considered on the level of Creator/StevenSoderbergh and Creator/QuentinTarantino, and is seen as one of the most important filmmakers in Canada, along with Creator/DavidCronenberg and Don [=McKellar=]. His work often lends itself to WildMassGuessing, due to his occasional use of the MindScrew.
