Opis:
One of the Catholic Churchs most infamous institutions is the focus of this controversial independent feature from Scottish actor and erstwhile director Peter Mullan. Set in 1964, The Magdalene Sisters hones in on the Magdalene convent, a place where purportedly wayward young women have been sent by their families for reform. Many of the girls are locked up in the institution for questionable "sins," and the movie presents several of them as case studies: Margaret (Anne-Marie Duff), who is sent away after being sexually assaulted by a cousin at a wedding; Rose (Dorothy Duffy) and Crispina (Eileen Walsh), who are both unwed mothers; and Bernadette (Nora-Jane Noone), whose licentiousness has raised the ire of her former orphanage. It soon becomes clear that the reformatory is more of a manual-labor prison, however, as their girls are forced to work long hours and endure endless physical humiliation and abuse at the hands of the head nun, Sister Bridget (Geraldine McEwan). As their degradation at the hands of the convents administrators increases, each girl plots her escape, but each finds that shes never far enough from the sisters all-encompassing reach. The Magdalene Sisters premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where it was awarded the festivals top prize, the Golden Lion; the Vatican officially condemned the film after its premiere. .

I was an unmarried girl
Id just turned 27
When they sent me to the sisters
For the way men looked at me.
--Joni Mitchell, "The Magdalene Laundries"
Here is a movie about barbaric practices against women, who were locked up without trial and sentenced to forced, unpaid labor for such crimes as flirting with boys, becoming pregnant out of wedlock, or being raped. These inhuman punishments did not take place in Afghanistan under the Taliban, but in Ireland under the Sisters of Mercy. And they are not ancient history. The Magdalene Laundries flourished through the 1970s and processed some 30,000 victims; the last were closed in 1996.
"The Magdalene Sisters" is a harrowing look at institutional cruelty, perpetrated by the Catholic Church in Ireland, and justified by a perverted hysteria about sex. "Ive never been with any lads ever," one girl says, protesting her sentence, "and thats the gods honest truth." A nun replies: "But youd like to, wouldnt you?" And because she might want to, because she flirted with boys outside the walls of her orphanage, she gets what could amount to a life sentence at slave labor.
This film has been attacked by the Catholic League, but its facts stand up; a series of Irish Times articles on the Internet talk of cash settlements totaling millions of pounds to women who were caught in the Magdalene net. What is inexplicable is that this practice could have existed in our own time, in a Western European nation. The laundries were justified because they saved the souls of their inmates--but what about the souls of those who ran them?
Raised in the Catholic Church in America at about the same time, I had nothing but positive experiences. The Dominican Sisters who taught us were dedicated, kind and brilliant teachers, and when I see a film like this I wonder what went wrong in Ireland--or right at St. Marys Grade School in Champaign-Urbana.
"The Magdalene Sisters" focuses on the true stories of three girls who fell into the net. As the film opens, we see Margaret (Anne-Marie Duff) lured aside by a relative at a family wedding, and raped. When she tells a friend what has happened, the word quickly spreads, and within days it is she, not the rapist, who is punished. Her sentence, like most of the Magdalene sentences, is indefinite, and as she goes to breakfast on her first morning she passes a line of older women who have been held here all their lives.
Two others: Bernadette (Nora-Jane Noone) is the girl who flirted with boys outside her orphanage, and Rose (Dorothy Duffy) is pregnant out of wedlock. She bears her child because abortion would be a sin, only to have it taken from her by the parish priest, who ships her off to a Magdalene institution.
Other inmates include Crispina (Eileen Walsh), whose crime is that she is mentally handicapped and might fall victim to men if not institutionalized. And there is an older prisoner who acts as a snitch to gain favor with the sisters. The nun in charge of this institution is a figure of pure evil named Sister Bridget (Geraldine McEwan), a sadist with a cruel streak of humor, who in one scene presides as new girls are forced to strip so their bodies and the size of their breasts can be compared. This is not fiction; the screenplay, by director Peter Mullan, is based on testimony by Magdalene inmates. McEwans powerful, scary performance evokes scarcely repressed sadomasochism.
The drama in "The Magdalene Sisters" is not equal to its anger. The film turns, as I suppose it must, into a story of escape attempts. A previously inexperienced girl finds herself making direct carnal offers to a young truck driver, if he will slip her a key to the gate. A priest who violates Christina is paid back with poison ivy in his laundry. There is an escape attempt at the end that belongs more in an action film than in this protest against injustice.

(Magdalenine sestre)
Žanr: drama
Zemlja: Irska
Godina : 2002
Režija i scenario: Peter Mullan
Uloge: Anne-Marie Duff, Eileen Walsh,
Dorothy Duffy,Nora-Jane Noone,
Geraldine McEwan, Daniel Costello
Film "Magdalenine sestre", britanskog reditelja Pitera Malana, dobitnik glavne
nagrade Zlatni lav na 59. medjunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji, izazvao je
burnu polemiku, jer katolička crkva smatra da je rječ o "žestokoj i uvredljivoj
provokaciji", dok reditelj smatra da Crkva treba da traži oproštaj za ono sto je pod
njenim okriljem činjeno.
Scenario je nastao prema šokantnoj istinitoj priči o hiljadama žena koje su bile
oterane iz vlastitih porodica, osuđene od Katoličke crkve, te prognane u posebne
samostane Magdaleninih sestara u kojima su, poput robova i zatvorenica, živele i
radile pod strogim nadzorom časnih sestara. Premda ih je okolina proglašavala
»ludima«, njihov je jedini zločin bio što su bile siročad bez roditelja, žrtve silovanja ili
su imale decu izvan braka ili su samo zbog naivnog koketiranja proglašavane
moralno opasnima i udaljavane iz svojih sredina. Naime, samostani Marije Magdalene
osnovani su u Irskoj u 19. veku s namerom da izdvoje prostitutke i »ludakinje«, a s
godinama su pretvoreni u Magdalenine praonice rublja u kojima su devojke
mukotrpno radile bez ikakvih prava. Radnja filma događa se u Irskoj 1964., u vreme
kada se mlade devojke već počinju oslobađati stega okoline i živeti slobodnije, što je
Katolička crkva pokušavala drastično kažnjavati.
