This weekend!

The Juniper Tree

Dir. Nietzchka Keene (1990) | Iceland | English | 79 min | DCP

Programmed by Naomi

Nietzchka Keene’s adaptation of the 19th-century fairy tale recasts the story through a distinctly feminist lens, shifting attention from the tale’s inherited suspicion of women to the very systems that produce it. Filmed in stark black-and-white on Iceland’s southern coast, basalt cliffs and the mist of Seljalandsfoss give the landscape a presence of its own. Featuring Björk in her debut as both an actor and a new mother, the film follows her character, Margit, and her sister Katla, as they live in exile after their mother’s persecutory death. Photographed in long, low summer light, silhouettes are framed against vast open space where grief, ritual and landscape are inseparable.
