Housekeeping (1987)
Country: US
Technical: col 115m
Director: Bill Forsyth
Cast: Christine Lahti, Sara Walker, Andrea Burchill
Synopsis:
Two orphaned sisters are shuffled off to live with their eccentric, free-spirited aunt. The elder girl discovers an unexpected kinship.
Review:
The director's first foreign feature and first adaptation has a melancholy wackiness derived from its location (Idaho) as well as its characters. These have a charm he never fails to draw from his actors and Lahti is a joy. An unusual film about 'pixillated' people and one of David Puttnam's achievements during his brief sojourn at Columbia.
