Bluebird

Country: USA
Director: Lance Edmands

In the frozen woods of an isolated Maine logging town, a mistake shatters the balance of the community, resulting in profound and unexpected consequences. The interconnectivity of life is illustrated in this absorbing drama that begins on a cold January day. A school bus driver is so distracted by the unusual appearance of a bluebird, she neglects to check the back of the bus. Weaving together several story lines, the film’s atmospheric cinematography establishes a world based on life’s cycles – where control is minimal and forgiveness necessary. Stars John Slattery (Mad Men) and Amy Morton (Boss). (2013; 90 min)
