*1-sided. With the flexi comes a little package. It's pink and looks like the cover of Life's Too Good. Inside there's a tri-fold booklet with pictures, an article (in Japanese) about the band and the track listing for Life's Too Good, the 17 track version + Traitor (Icelandic) as #18. This rare release is very often wrongly referred to as 30cy-2536, which in fact is the japanese release of life's too good, which this single promotes.

This stark black-and-white drama explores the vast territory of interpersonal pain in an unrelenting manner. It is a retelling of one of the stories from the "Grimm's Fairytales" about two sisters who have survived after their mother was burned as a witch. Told in a rigorous and challenging manner, the story focuses on the two sisters after their escape. The eldest sister has married a widowed man with a young son. The younger sister is a teenager and lives in the new household. The challenge of winning over her hostile young stepson eventually proves too much for the elder sister, and since the younger sister has been warning the boy that her sister is "a witch," it stands to reason that the whole situation quickly becomes very difficult indeed. Reviewers felt that this bleak story held rewards for the patient viewer because of the careful craftsmanship of the film though they warned that most casual viewers would find it immensely unappealing. Clarke Fountain (allmovie guide).

Pop star Bjork makes her film debut in this mythical fantasy set during a time of magic. Margit (Bjork) and her older sister, Katla, flee their home in Iceland after their mother is put to death for practicing witchcraft. Desperate for a place to take shelter, Katla casts a spell on Jóhann, a young farmer with a son, Jóhas. The spell makes Jóhann fall in love with Katla, but Jóhas sees through her plot and begs his father to send her away. Margit's mother, who wants to help Jóhas, starts appearing to Margit in visions and gives her an amulet to protect the boy. Together, they struggle to get rid of Katla. Rebecca Flint
