Magdalene (2002)
1964, Irlanda. Giovani donne, ragazze-madri, violentate, orfane o solo troppo "vivaci", vengono rinchiuse dai familiari in uno dei conventi Magdalene gestiti dalle sorelle della Misericordia. Le ragazze, per espiare i loro peccati, sono costrette a lavorare fino allo stremo delle forze e a subire percosse e ogni genere di violenza psicologica se non ubbidiscono agli ordini delle suore. Il film racconta la storia di quattro giovani vittime e sono, purtroppo, storie vere. Peter Mullan, dopo un film sopra le righe come Orphans, sceglie un registro molto più realistico e ci parla di ognuna di loro con lo stile di una camera a mano che rende ogni inquadratura cruda e dolorosa. Lo fa con la sensibilità e la partecipazione a un destino segnato dalle convenzioni sociali e morali che negano il rispetto, la Fede e la libertà.
