Sisters on Screen

By Eva Rueschmann

Book Overview

Perhaps the most vital, emotionally complex and lasting attachments between women occur between sisters. Whether as best friends or antagonists, sisters remain entangled in a common tapestry of mutual experience and remembrance, family and history, according to author Eva Rueschmann. Although many of the women-centred films in the last three decades depict the relationship between sisters as a pivotal aspect of a character's psychological development, the now substantial body of feminist film criticism has not taken up this theme in any sustained way.
