Meckler's "Sister My Sister"

198.208.223.35

True story of two sisters...maids to an aristocratic and cantakerous old woman and her plump and dopey daughter in early 20th century France. The movie does an excellent job of showing the division between society that existed back then and probably still exists today. The sisters are under such strict rules of obedience and seclusion that they only have each other for entertainment, discussion and ultimately, sexual gratification. The scene of their "first kiss" is absolutely one of the most erotic, heart-pounding, moments I've seen on film. The subsequent "love scenes" are done tastefully and with no nudity whatsoever. There's one scene of the sisters undressing each other in their bedroom, and a follow-up scene in the movie of one sister pleasuring the other in the kitchen while the madam of the house and her daughter sit just beyond the kitchen door in the parlor.

With this movie, Jodhi May confirmed to me that her brilliant acting in "Last of the Mohicans" was not a fluke. It's a shame that the film is out of print and very, very difficult to find - probably due to its subject matter - as it is a profound film with great writing, direction and lighting, IMHO.
