...title piece, Nacho Duato's Without Words is a strikingly contemporary work. Dancing off-pointe, in soft shoes, performers wear a tight-fitting, flesh-colored suits, giving the impression of being nude.

After seeing the film, a wicked black comedy that involves an insurance adjuster, film censors, an ex-football player, a lamp merchant, a podiatrist, and a butterfly collector among others, critic Roger Ebert mused that Egoyan must love puzzles, paradoxes, and card tricks...
