Diane says: “Franco-Swiss production SISTER underwhelmed me. A young boy who lives near a ski resort steals sports equipment, clothing, food to sell or to feed himself and his older sister. I kept imagining dramatic turns–a suicidal jump from the lift! a helping hand from the misanthropic boss!–but the story just continued, one half-step forward and one half-step back.

“What’s really great about this film is the cinematography by Agnes Godard–the many times when Simon’s foxy face fills the frame, and when she’s shooting from on top of the mountain. Variety says that director Ursurla Meier wrote the film for Mottet
Klein, who plays Simon. He is great for this role: tough and sly, emotionally needy and ashamed. 3 cats
