Schwestern oder Die Balance des Glücks (1979)


 

A German career woman loses a sister and seeks a surrogate.

From memory: Subtle, complex, but also a bit stiff examination of a sisterly relationship compels mainly through the excellent performances by Jutta Lampe, Gudrun Gabriel and Jessica Früh.

Halliwell*: "Troubling, claustrophobic study of damaging family relationships."

Maltin**1/2: "Slow but not unrewarding psychological study..."
