Sister My Sister

Based on scandalous true events, the brilliantly acted Sister My Sister is a darkly disturbing tale of madness, forbidden passion and murder set in a small French provincial town in 1932. Joely Richardson (TV's Nip/Tuck) and Jodhi May (The Last of the Mohicans) star as Christine and Lea, emotionally fragile sisters employed as maids for Madame Danzard and her plain, frumpy daughter. Oscar-nominee Julie Walters (Educated Rita, Calendar Girls) gives a tour-de-force performance as the tyrannical Danzard, whose cruelty will compel an increasingly desperate bond between the sisters, resulting in a tragic and shocking crime.
