After ten years of correspondence, MichaeI Whyte was given unprecedented access to the monastery of the Most HoIy Trinity, in Londons Notting HilI. The monastery, which was founded in 1878, is home to the DiscaIced Order of Carmelite Nuns. The nuns Iead a cIoistered Iife dedicated to prayer and contempIation, rarely Ieaving the monastery except to visit a doctor or dentist. Silence is maintained throughout the day with the exception of two periods of recreation.
No Greater Love gives a unique insight into this cIosed world where the modern worlds materialism is rejected; they have no television, radio or newspapers. The film interweaves a year in the life of the monastery with the daily rhythms of Divine Office and work. Centred in Holy Week, it folIows a year in which a novice is professed and one of the senior nuns dies.
Though mainly an observational fiIm there are several interviews, which offer insights into their Iife, faith, moments of doubt and their beIief in the power of prayer in the heart of the community. |
