ReviewsLos Angeles Times - ...This beguiling Belgian fable, very much its own droll and delicate little film, has some touching things to say about what is important in life and why..., Total Film - ...A charming tale....A touching study of emotional isolation..., New York Times - ...[A] modest, touching film....A subtle, poignant picture....It leaves you with a bittersweet glow of wisdom and an appreciation of the small triumphs and difficult labors of love...
Additional InformationA sweet, simple film about four sisters in their 60s who are beginning to face the challenges--financial and familial--of growing older, PAULINE AND PAULETTE is a realistic, light, and quietly inspiring story. Pauline (Dora van der Groen) is a mildly retarded woman who has always been cared for by her older sister Martha (Chris Boni). Living in the quiet Dutch town of Lochristi, life is easy. Pauline wakes in the morning and happily waters her flowers outside with wide, easy sweeps of her watering can. She eats her toast and tea, prepared by Martha, and goes to the butcher shop with Martha's list of what to buy. Her favorite part of the day is peering in the window of the dress shop owned by her other sister, Paulette (Ann Petersen), who she adores. But when Martha suddenly passes away, leaving a clause in her will that requires Paulette and a fourth sister, Cecile (Chris Lomme), to care for Pauline, the ease and routine of Pauline's life is lost. Neither Cecile, who lives with her fiance in Brussels, or Paulette, who is busy with her shop and her local opera performances, wants the responsibility of caring for Pauline. However, with a little generosity and some patience, things work themselves out. PAULINE AND PAULETTE is a kind tale told with artful honesty.

  • Lovely film

    This is a charming, warm story. Set in Belgium, the story of 4 sisters and how they deal with a life changing event and the care of one of their siblings. Poignant and in places funny, I have watched it several times and never get tired of it.
