유럽에서 극우세력이 다시 떠오르고 있다. 세계2차대전 당시 폴란드의 숲 속에서 생매장당한 한 로마니 집시 여인의 망령이 다시 나타나 1940년대에 자행되었던 집시의 학살부터 현재 신나치주의자들의 증오범죄까지, 우리의 시선을 그 곳으로 향하게 한다.

Based on Gertrude Stein’s eponymously named screenplay, written in 1929 as European fascism was building momentum. Beatrice Gibson’s adaptation, set almost a century later in contemporary Paris, deploys Stein’s script as a talismanic guide through a contemporary moment of comparable social and political unrest. An original soundtrack, written especially for the film by British composer Laurence Crane, responds to the repetition, duplication and duality at play in Stein’s script. Both a fictional thriller and an act of collective representation, Deux Soeurs proposes empathy and friendship as means to reckon with an increasingly turbulent present.
