Screening Log. The Sweet Hereafter

The Sweet Hereafter (Atom Egoyan) (1997)



Third viewing. Not my favorite Egoyan (I keep wondering what the matter with me is), but still a very beautiful film. My only main issue with the film are in the The Pied Piper of Hamelin parts...after a while I started to feel beaten over the head with it, as if I couldn't make the connection earlier in the film. That's all.
