The Sweet Hereafter, 1997
This slow-burn drama about the in-fighting among a small B.C. community in the wake of a school bus accident that killed many of the town’s children cemented Atom Egoyan’s status among Canada’s directorial elite and showed Sarah Polley, then 18, had an artistic road ahead of her that certainly didn’t end in Avonlea.
