SISTER MY SISTER reprises the real-life story of the Papin sisters, two working-class chambermaids who murdered their bourgeois employers and scandalized 1930s French society. Joely Richardson turns in a powerful performance as older sister Christine, who is employed with sibling Lea (Jodhi May) in the claustrophobic home of repressive dowager Madame Danzard (Julie Walters) and her unhappy daughter Isabelle (Sophie Thursfield). Isolated from society and mistreated by the Danzards, the sisters spiral into madness and obsession as their affection for each other blossoms into an incestuous relationship. For variations on the same story, see MURDEROUS MAIDS or Claude Chabrol's LA CEREMONIE.
