Amelda Brown, Jodhi May, Joely Richardson

Christine (Joely Richardson) and Lea (Jodhi May) are sisters who were separated at a young age. Through Christine's clever machinations, they have been reunited by working as maids for a very proper l...( read more  read more... )ady and her bored and restless daughter. When the already passionate bond between the sisters becomes sexual, it sets up a series of events that lead to tragedy. Set in 1932 France, this film is supposedly based on a true story. Viewers looking for a sort of Playboy meets Merchant-Ivory romp will have to look elsewhere--the sex here is very discreet. Instead what we get is a nifty little piece of suspense and psychological horror that features taut direction, a smart script, spotless production values, and a topnotch cast. Julie Walters is marvelously funny--and scary--as the lady of the house who "sees everything" (but actually can't see beyond the tip of her nose), and Joely Richardson is heartbreaking as a seemingly self-reliant woman who is terrified of having her sister taken away again. --Geof Miller

    This is a sick, haunting, bleak tale, and it's irresistible, too. The bond between the two sisters is the only light in the darkness of their still lives. The film may remind you both of "Remains of the Day" and "Heavenly Creatures". The weird thing is... they were all released a...( read more)round the same time :)

    watched this film late on channel 4 one night, mainly for the premise of a bit of sister on sister action, but in fact it was a very well made film

    I love the story so much........very claustrophobic film in which there is no men and everything is indoors, the final massacre is so well done, you kind of want them to kill .............

    Despite the incest within the story, it is good. Violence in the end.

    A dark & stark portrayal of emotions & relationships in a repressed environment . This intense movie also reflects upon the 'breaking point' in individuals when they are stretched beyond a mental framework. It may not be to everyone's liking because of its subject & certain sc...( read more)enes.
