Review of The Juniper Tree (1990) by Theo M — 03 Sep 2011
Slow paced, black and white Icelandic movie, loosely based on the Grimm's fairy tale of The Juniper Tree, in which the evil stepmother kills the young son of her husband, puts him in her soup and lets the father eat from it.
The sister finds bones in the soup and buries them under the juniper tree. Eventually the boy returns as a bird (but the last part of the tale, in which the boy has his revenge, is missing in the movie).
The main attraction in this film is the younger of the two sisters, played by Björk.
