The Sweet Hereafter
Canada / 1997

This is a film of great beauty and power, but I find (after seeing it again for the first time since its initial release) Atom Egoyan’s disjointed narrative to compete with the material. The same tactic is the paramount strength of the director’s seminal film, Exotica; here, it generates a suspense that is contrary to the film’s theme of unforeseeable tragedy.
