The Sweet Hereafter
Film Description The Grand Jury prize-winner at Cannes, but it's in the pairing of emotional precision with stunning snowscapes that the film really hits home. Ian Holm's tightly coiled lawyer tries to bring order to a town mourning the deaths of its children in a school bus accident. Egoyan traces the chilly territory of family trauma with an expert hand.
