This is a documentary upon which The Magdalene Sisters by Peter Mullan was made. It shows testimonies of Martha Cooney, Christina Mulcahy and the others. Basically, if you have seen the movie there is nothing new or different here, except maybe for the experience of seeing and getting a bit closer to real life victims of the asylums. The documentary was made in 1998. for Channel Four and was a part of Testimony films series.

The whole experience of watching comes very closely to the feeling everyone probably had when they read that last asylum was shut down in 1996 at the end of the movie. It just makes it closer to you.Read More »

Synopsis:
Horror film icon James Whale directed this well-detailed thriller about a man questioning his wife’s honesty after a friend begins to doubt his own. Dr. Paul Held (Frank Morgan) is an attorney who has been asked to come to the aid of his old friend Walter Bernsdorf (Paul Lukas); Bernsdorf has been accused of killing his wife, and he wants Held to defend him in court. Bernsdorf admits to shooting his spouse, but he tells Held that he lost control when he found out his wife was having an affair. Held takes on his friend’s case, but as he pours over the facts in the Bernsdorf slaying, he finds himself wondering about the fidelity of his own wife, Maria (Nancy Carroll). A Kiss Before The Mirror also features actress Gloria Stuart; James Whale would remake the same story six years later, under the title Wives under Suspicion.

“Since a long time I have been linked to the painter Georges de La Tour. His paintings helped me in making my films. Even more, in a precise way they crossed my personal life. The film I shot about La Tour is about that : an intimate emotion followed by the love for the works of La Tour. […] Georges de La Tour’s paintings (it remains 30) are fixed images gifted of a rare radiation and density in the history of human labour. It happens that me, a film-maker, with my movement of twenty four images per second, I am a little jealous of this completion.” (Alain Cavalier) Read More »
