sm's video: Alberta Watson and Bruce Greenwood The Sweet Hereafter 1997

@Alberta Watson and Bruce Greenwood | The Sweet Hereafter, 1997
Alberta Watson portrays Risa in 'The Sweet Hereafter' (Atom Egoyan; Canada, 1997) Final encounter between Risa (Alberta Watson) and Billy (Bruce Greenwood). First, you can see the scene with a voice-over commentary with Atom Egoyan (director; screenplay writer) and Russell Banks (novel author); then, the actual scene from the movie. Film critic Roger Ebert says: "A cold, dark hillside looms above the Bide-a-Wile Motel, pressing down on it, crushing out the life with the gray weight of winter. It is one of the strongest images in Atom Egoyan's ``The Sweet Hereafter,'' which takes place in a small Canadian town, locked in by snow and buried in grief after 14 children are killed in a school bus accident. To this town comes a quiet man, a lawyer who wants to represent the residents in a class action suit. Mitchell Stephens (Ian Holm) lacks the energy to be an ambulance chaser; he is only going through the motions of his occupation. In a way he's lost a child, too; the first time we see him, he's on the phone with his drug-addicted daughter. ``I don't know who I'm talking to right now,'' he tells her." http://tinyurl.com/5muhvn 'The Sweet Hereafter' won three awards at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival: the FIPRESCI Prize, the Grand Prize of the Jury, and the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury.[5] It won Best Motion Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Actor (Holm), and three other prizes at the Genie Awards for Canadian Films
