Drifting between past and present,\u003cem\u003e The Sweet Hereafter\u003c\/em\u003e offers an intimate panorama of a snowbound Canadian town reckoning with the fallout of a school-bus crash that claimed the lives of fourteen children—a fresh wound that’s further inflamed when a big-city lawyer, who is contending with his own personal tragedy, arrives to assemble a lawsuit on behalf of the victims’ families. Achieving an almost incantatory intensity through the mesmerizing performances of an ensemble cast led by Ian Holm and Sarah Polley, this winner of the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival is a devastatingly clear-eyed vision of the ways in which trauma can ripple through our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"header_lvl2 hideSmall\" data-feature-title-field=\"\"\u003eDIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-features-list\" data-special-features-field=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew 4K digital restoration supervised and approved by director Atom Egoyan, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo audio commentaries, one from 1998 featuring Egoyan and author Russell Banks, and the other from 2012 featuring Egoyan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew interview with Egoyan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterview with Egoyan and actor Sarah Polley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“Egoyan to the Oscars,” a 1998 segment from the Canadian television program \u003cem\u003eThe National\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpisode of the Criterion Channel series Observations on Film Art about the use of associative editing, featuring scholar Jeff Smith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsolated track featuring Mychael Danna's score\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrailers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePLUS: An essay by critic César Albarrán-Torres and an introduction by Egoyan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew cover by Anthony Gerace, featuring photography by Johnnie Eisen\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sharetools\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sharetools\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Criterion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46666146381868,"sku":"715515347815","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0359\/2201\/8348\/files\/the-sweet-hereafter-4k-uhd-1349-new-4k-uhd.jpg?v=1794644160","url":"https:\/\/www.orbitdvd.com\/products\/the-sweet-hereafter-4k-uhd-1349","provider":"Orbit DVD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
