Tom Wilkinson and Sissy Spacek play a small town coastal Maine doctor and his wife. They have a college age son who is dating an oldwer woman with a jealous ex-husband. A tragedy ensues and when the couple seeks justice the system breaks down. So the doctor and a friend take matters into their own hamds. This is an excellent, riveiting story with fine realistic acting, expertly directed by Todd Field. Highly redcommended. Field cut a scene where the couple is watching "Barry Lyndon", intended as an homage to the late Stanly Kubrick, whom Field had worked with on "Eyes Wide Shut".
Follow Ups:
Though I grant that it was not a terribly great year for film.
The story shifts so radically in the second half, its almost like a different movie. But "both" were pretty good. Two for the price of one. Seems like Tom Wilkenson was really on a roll that year, too. He was popping up everywhere.

I enjoyed it very much and thought everyone in it was terrific.
Saw it once, that was enough. Thought the whole wound metaphor was a bit on the nose.

good foreign selections, including Tarkovsky!
My problem at the moment is definitely not the shortage of good films to view... with about 80 in the Netflix queue and a 2 foot stack on the floor we are well set at the moment, but thank you for a suggestion - I was not even thinking of a library as a source of films.We are still chewing through the bunch I brought from Russia - and next one will be the new Dr. Zhivago with some very good actors.
A 12 part mini-series. That will be the first Dr. Zhivago made in Russia, so there is a potential there.
