I was just thinking some more about the film, The Sweet Hereafter. This is one Lenise rented because she thought it look weird and therefore might appeal to me. Of all the poignant drama films I've seen, I think that this one is the one I've thought about the most. While I enjoyed, say, Schindler's List, and found it very powerful, it was not very morally complex. TSH draws you into a tragedy and then lets you think about it from quite a number of angles. I just looked over some of the reviews at amazon. One guy said, "if I could give it 10 stars, I would." While I didn't have that reaction immediately, over time it's grown on me. Maybe I should watch it again. Any of you dear readers seen it??
