Readers of this blog know that several years ago, Cory & I had the opportunity to meet Pierce & Keely Brosnan at the Sundance Film Festival in 2005.
Today we saw him in the movie, The Greatest, a movie about parents (Pierce Brosnan & Susan Sarandon) who lose their son in a tragic car accident and how each copes with her/her grief. It is shot in the suburbs of New York and has a picture perfect setting for the All-American family. When tragedy strikes, the family and their friends unravel as they try to wrap their heads around what has happened to their son.
This movie was very powerful and emotional and a must-see when it eventually hits the theaters. Viewers of this film cried through much of the movie. For that matter, Susan Sarandon, who sat in the audience with Pierce & the rest of the cast, cried while watching the movie as well!
After the movie we headed to the Chicagoans at Sundance Party, hosted by Brenda Sexton. It was great to be this far from the Windy City with a room full of people fleeing the Chicago cold for the mountains of Utah.
