The Juniper Tree (1990)


 

Margit and her older sister, Katla, flee their homeland after their mother is killed for practicing witchcraft. Needing a place to stay, Katla casts a spell over a young farmer named Jóhann which makes him fall in love with her. 

Imaginative and intelligent re-interpretation of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale convinces with beautiful b/w photography and a wonderful performance by Björk.
