Egoyan's film adaptation of Banks's The Sweet Hereafter: "The Pied Piper" as trauma narrative and mise-en-abyme.(Atom Egoyan, Russell Banks)(Critical essay)

Literature-Film Quarterly | July 1, 2008| | Copyright

Atom Egoyan states that Robert Browning's poem "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" (1842) serves as the controlling metaphor for his film The Sweet Hereafter. (1) The poem constitutes a significant change in his adaptation of Russell Banks's novel. Banks himself wished he had included it in his narrative (Rayns 61). Both works focus on the ramifications of a school bus accident in which children perish and the futile search for justice and meaning in a world of random violence and accidents.
