Directed by Nietzchka Keene | 78 mins | 1990
A young Björk makes her captivating screen debut in this stark, windswept fable, freely adapted from a Brothers Grimm story, about two sisters, one endowed with witchy gifts, who set out in search of a new home after their mother is murdered. Setting her feature debut in Iceland, Nietzschka Keene—whose career was cut short by her death from cancer in 2004—makes full use of the country’s supernaturally striking landscape, evoking Bergman through her mise en scène.
