The inscrutable in pursuit of the unspeakable
Article Abstract:
People tend to cope with traumatic or extreme emotional states by viewing themselves in the middle of a story, according to film director Atom Egoyan. This is seen in 'The Sweet Hereafter,' his film which won the Grand Prix du Jury at the Cannes Festival in May 1997. This film has almost none of the video imagery which has always characterized Egoyan's work, and its setting is unusual for a director who focuses on cities and their technologies. However, he found himself very attracted to the film's characters.
