Atlantis Sinks
(10/05/01 4:00am)
Five years ago, a director named Scott Hicks was the talk of the town--he had completed the dark and inspiring Shine, a noble film. Since then he has slouched--twice. First he gave us the slowest film of 1999, Snow Falling on Cedars. This year, Hicks gives us the sappiest film of 2001 (so far): Hearts in Atlantis.
