The Sweet Hereafter
Originally released: 1997
Oscar-nominated for best direction and adapted screenplay, this is Egoyan's most accessible film yet. Nevertheless, it raises satisfyingly complex questions about memory and loss as it explores the aftermath of a tragic accident. His typically non-linear story telling delivers a potent pay-off, thanks to mesmerising performances from Ian Holm and Sarah Polley (Go). If you're new to Atom Egoyan, this is the place to start.
