Director: Kim Jee-woon
Cast: Yeom Jeong-a, Moon Geun-young and Im Soo-jung
Take all the good stuff out of the Cinderella story—the ball, the prince, even Cinderella herself—and you’re left with a cruel stepmother
and two wicked stepdaughters. Add the ghost of
the girls’ real mother, who sent them to a mental institution by hanging herself in their closet, and
the result is A Tale of Two Sisters. Director Kim Jee-woon is in top form, conjuring a cold, motionless storm that’s both creepily familiar in its dark family relationships and yet powerfully supernatural.
