...ubiquitously symbolic elm tree, and you have something close to the film’s narrative. The character dynamic, from the beginning of the film, is in a perpetual state of breakdown. Kidman finds Leigh and Black in a delicate emotional equilibrium that’s quickly thrown into disarray upon her arrival. Every conversation between the two sisters is ripe with tension, which spills over into the Leigh’s engagement, Kidman’s marriage, and the more central relationship between Kidman and Pais. The inevitable catharsis plays out against an idyllic autumn backdrop on the North...
