Twin Sisters, Parallel Dramatic Lives, 1 February 2006
9/10
Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

In 1926, in Colony, Germany, the twin sisters Anna and Lotte Bamberg are separated after the death of their parents. Anna stays in Germany with her ignorant catholic uncle and aunt in their small property, and Lotte, with tuberculosis, moves to Holland. Anna is not sent to school, to work in the farm, while Lotte is raised by an upper class family having good education. They do not have any contact with each other, but near the World War II they meet each other. Later Anna marries a young SS officer, while Lotte is engaged of a Jewish musician. Their lives follow different and opposite paths with the war.

Based on the Dutch bestseller novel written by Tessa de Loo, the Oscar nominated "De Tweeling" is a magnificent movie. The dramatic story of these twin sisters, forced to a separation in their childhood, and following parallel lives due to WWII, is very sad, but never corny. I felt very sorry for the suffered character of Anna, and in the end I was very sad with this touching and sensitive movie. The direction and performance of this unknown cast is amazing and this movie is a must-see. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Irmãs Gêmeas" ("Twin Sisters")
