Treeless Mountain

Korea

Two small girls...sisters 7 and 4...are left by mom with an uncaring aunt. We follow their adjustment, their yearning, their sense of abandonment and how they cope with such a serious loss. Autobiographical scenario by the filmmaker...a Korean-raised woman.

This ranks among the very best performances by children I've seen. As good as Ponette. The kids were natural with each other, with other kids and with adults. It was impossible for me not to feel for their plight.

Outstanding work.
