In A Tale of
Two Sisters, during a seizure, a woman happens to see something (someone?) under the
sink, and she tells her husband about it.
We later see a
hand come out from under the sink, but due to the nature of the movie (a very unreliable
narrator), we can't easily know for sure if the hand was real. However, we have no
reason that I know of to distrust what the first woman saw. Was there a tie in with the
rest of the story somehow? Or was this just a red herring?
Answer
I saw
this movie recently and from what I could gather, everything that happened (except the
part where the older sister returns to the house after her treatment and the bird being
killed) is imagined...it's in the mind, because of her dissociative identity disorder.
The other woman couldnt have arrived at all, I think, because all the while the
stepmother was not present at all in the house. She arrives only much later. So if the
stepmother wasn't there, and it was the girl imagining everything, even these incidents
are part of the supposed imagination. A bit far fetched I know but this is the best I
could comprehend.
EDIT: It appears my interpretation of
this was skewed. The family dinner did happen and the woman did see something. It seems
that what she was is supposed to be a ghost of the dead sister. Please see this link for
a detailed discussion on the movie:
