Exotica is a 1994 Canadian film set primarily in and around the fictional Exotica strip club in Toronto, Canada. It was written and directed by Atom Egoyan. Music used includes "Montagues and Capulets".
Exotica presents a disparate group of characters whose lives are interconnected by the murder of Francis Brown's (Bruce Greenwood) daughter, with much of the film taking place in a strip club called Exotica. Christina (Mia Kirshner) is an exotic dancer at Exotica, owned by Zoe (Arsinée Khanjian). Eric (Elias Koteas) is the club's DJ and Christina's former boyfriend; both are involved in a complex relationship with Zoe, who is carrying Eric's child. Francis is a customer who comes in on alternate evenings and always has Christina—dressed in a schoolgirl uniform—give him a private dance. This inspires Eric's jealousy.
Francis pays his brother Harold's (Victor Garber) young daughter (Sarah Polley) to babysit on nights that he attends the nightclub. Francis, however, has no children and the girl merely practices music alone until Francis returns from Exotica and drives her home. Francis' relationship with his brother is strained, as the film suggests that Harold was having an affair with Francis' wife, supported later by the revelation that the car accident that killed Francis' wife also left his brother a paraplegic.
The 'Exotica' is a nightclub on the outskirts of Toronto, where Eric, DJ and MC, watches nightly as his ex-girlfriend Christina performs. Watches jealously, especially as far as the extra attentions regular customer Francis garners are concerned. Thomas, meanwhile and erstwhile, goes through a series of, um, interesting situations involving his pet shop, a gruff taxi-sharing stranger, unexpected tickets to the opera and smuggled eggs of a rare bird. Multiple story lines unfold in a splendid tangle of cutbacks, forward and backward references and recurring themes, all woven around the Exotica, its customers and employees. A calm roller-coaster ride of a movie, visually and intriguingly and emotionally moving. O, and the sound track is notable, too.

[clapping]::Eric: Yeah! Bring those big hairy palms together, gentlemen, have a nice big, round of applause... for Kali! Kali. Yes, indeed, Kali. And you, too, can - you, too, can have Kali come over to your table for only five dollars, where she can show you the mysteries of her world. Trust me, gentlemen, trust me.
Eric: Do it for me, baby! Oh! My god, that's incredible, incredible! Let me ask you something, gentlemen: What is it that gives a schoolgirl her special innocence? Her sweet fragrance... Fresh flowers, light as a spring rain... Oh, my god, my god... Or is it her firm, young flesh, inviting your every caress, enticing you to explore her deepest and most private secrets? Well, gentlemen, I'm gonna let you decide that one for yourselves. Please join me in welcoming a sassy bit of jailbait to our stage. Yes, indeed. Come out, sweet Chrissy! Wherever you are, baby, come on out!
Zoe: What is this thing about Eric calling you "a sassy piece of jailbait"?::Christina: What's this thing?::Zoe: It bothers me.::Christina: Why?::Zoe: It makes you out like a child or something.::Christina: Unlike the tartan skirt and my socks or the blouse or the way I act, right?
Christina: Do you have a lot of friends?::Eric: Not really...::Christina: Do you ever wish you did?::Eric: Yeah.::Christina: When?::Eric: Well... like... now, for instance.::Christina: Why?::Eric: Well... I just met you. And I feel like telling somebody about it.
Eric: He comes in here every other night. He has his favorite drink, and his favourite table, with his favorite dancer. Sometimes he has to wait for her, and sometimes she's waiting for him, to protect him. She's his angel.
Eric: Mmm, what? What is it? What is it that gives a school-girl her special innocence? Is it the way they smell? The sweet smell of their perfume... , of their hair? The aroma of fresh flowers... , and all that other stuff that hasn't been fucked up by late nights and a lot 'a bad food? Is it their gestures... , and the way they move? The way their body still holds on to some semblance of self-respect and... , and dignity? When they wrap their beautiful legs around you - tight, holding on - looking at you... , you looking at them. It's just... Or is it whatever comes out of their cute little mouths? All those questions, all that wondering that... It's just, you know, you... They got their whole lives ahead of them, you know? And you've wasted half of yours away. Damn. What is it?

Love's calling, I can see your face
Warm expression fills up all this space
True reflections of your world in me
Deep inside I know I found your key
(bridge 1)
Lay down next to me
Show me you care
Slowly, I'm lost inside
It's all there in your eyes
(chorus)
What you gonna do with the good times
What you gonna do with this game
What you gonna do there's no holding back
Cause love won't wait
When you wanna love just call me
It is always the same
What you gonna do when the love runs out
Who's to blame
So if we're falling can I turn your key
Pure emotion wells up inside of me
Lost forever, in a world of dreams
There are things in us we must keep
(bridge 2)
Will you confess to me
Will you reveal
We are lost in each others eyes
Cos the love never dies
(chorus x 2)
Love won't wait
Lay down next to me
Your face
Lay down
Your face
(chorus ad lib)
