Snow Cake
MUST WATCH MOVIE!!only showing at the Picture House!! Quick Quick
A taciturn Englishman recently freed from prison, Alex (Alan Rickman) picks up hitchhiker Vivienne. After Vivienne dies in a terrible car accident from which he walks away unscathed, the remorseful Alex goes to Wawa, to apologize to the girl's mother Linda (Sigourney Weaver), an alluringly attractive autistic woman. After listening with both rapture and fear to the rapid-fire proclamations of Linda, he decides to stay on to help with Vivienne's funeral.
In Wawa, he develops a relationship with the local sophisticate, Maggie (Carrie-Anne Moss). As Alex, who lost his own son in a similarly tragic way, moves towards a reconciliation with his past, he discovers the unique world Vivienne and her mother created together - one filled with iridescent paper snowflakes, twinkling lights, backyard trampoline antics, and giddy games of Scrabble.
