[edit] Plot
Snow Cake is a drama about the friendship between Linda, an autistic woman (Weaver), and Alex (Rickman) who is traumatized after a car accident involving Linda's daughter.
The movie was screened and discussed at Autism Cymru 2nd international conference in May 2006 as well as the Edinburgh International Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival, Toronto Film Festival, Seattle International Film Festival, among others. It was the opening night screening for the Berlin Film Festival as well.[1]
[edit] Notes
Many critics have called this film the defining role of Rickman's career thus far. The screenwriter, Angela Pell, actually wrote the role of Alex Hughes with Rickman in mind. It was also Rickman who read the script and made sure Sigourney Weaver was contacted about the role of Linda. Both Rickman and Weaver were runners-up at the Seattle Int. Film Festival for Best Actor and Best Actress jury prizes respectively. Rickman's name has also been tossed about a little regarding potential Oscar nominations.
