The Event

Appeared at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival
Don McKellar, Olympia Dukakis, Parker Posey and Sarah Polley costar in writer-director Thom Fitzgerald’s compelling drama about love, the law and assisted suicide. Posey plays an ambitious assistant district attorney in New York investigating a number of suspicious deaths of AIDS patients. As she interviews friends and family of a recently deceased musician, Fitzgerald reveals in flashbacks what transpired on the final day of his life. “Fitzgerald has a wonderful feel for the absurd … a very serious picture [that's] never a downer” – Salon.
