After ten years of
correspondence, filmmaker Michael Whyte was given
unprecedented access to the monastery of the Most Holy
Trinity, in London's Notting Hill. The monastery, founded
in 1878, is home to the nuns of the Discalced Order of
Carmelites, who lead a cloistered life dedicated to prayer,
work and contemplation, rarely leaving the monastery except
to visit a doctor or dentist. Silence is maintained
throughout the day with the exception of two periods of
recreation.
A highly acclaimed, multiple
award-winning documentary, No Greater Love follows
in the wake of the great success of a similar film,
Into Great Silence, as it gives a unique insight
into this closed world of these nuns where the modern
world's 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. Centered on Holy Week, it follows a year
in which a novice is professed and one of the older nuns
dies. Though mainly a meditational film, there are several
interviews with the nuns, which offer insights into their
lives, faith, moments of doubt and their belief in the
power of prayer in the heart of the community. A
beautifully filmed and deeply inspiring production.
