SYNOPSIS
Snow Falling On Cedars, Academy Award-nominated director Scott Hicks’ first film since Shine, is a daring cinematic translation of David Guterson’s best-selling novel. Set in 1954 on an island in the Pacific Northwest, this haunting tale of love undone by societal pressures and familial customs is an elegiac, multi-layered exploration of truth, justice and vagaries of the human heart. In a directorial tour-de–force, Hicks employs an unconventional narrative which casts a powerful, hypnotic spell on the viewer.
