For as long as I waited to see _The Sweet Hereafter_, waiting for its video release, I am glad it surpassed my expectations. Like _The Myth of Fingerprints_, and _One Night Stand_, the seemless weaving of people's lives together was poignant and fresh, as well as seductive and heavenly. A movie like this proves to me over and over why I love watching movies by genius writer/directors: They are smooth creative flow with rising spirit.
In the movie itself, the shocking distrust, deception, and cunning show the true evil in the human heart, while failing attempts to express love, show its true beauty.
Also, sit back and take in the amazing soundtrack. The fact that they dispensed with a typical movie score, only adds credibility to the emotions it evokes.
