The Sweet Hereafter (#3)

This week, the guys have their most focused and on-topic discussion yet when they discuss Atom Egoyan's masterpiece The Sweet Hereafter. They talk about their misconceptions before watching the film which were based on reputation and Oscar nominations, Egoyan's use of a fractured narrative and very selective plot details, Sarah Polley's real life informing her ability to reach certain emotional and maturity peaks at such a young age, the plot tying into the Pied Piper of Hamelin and much, much more.
 
Next week: the guys rally towards the top of the list by discussing the 2nd best Canadian film of all-time (according to TIFF) - Mon Oncle Antoine.
