Snow Falling on Cedars
In 1950s Washington State, Japanese-American Rick Yune stands accused of killing a white fisherman. As the trial threatens to stir up old prejudices, local newspaperman Ethan Hawke must deal with his feelings for the accused's wife (Youki Kudoh), with whom he had a teenage romance that ended with Pearl Harbor and her family's internment in a prison camp. Based on David Guterson's best-selling novel, this lushly photographed drama also stars Max Von Sydow and Sam Shepard.
