NO GREATER LOVE
A film by Michael Whyte
?You cannot put a value on prayer, like you can a product, it still
remains a mystery?.
After ten years of correspondence, Michael Whyte was given
unprecedented access to the monastery of the Most Holy Trinity, in
London?s Notting Hill. The monastery, which was founded in 1878, is
home to the Discalced Order of Carmelite Nuns. The nuns lead a
cloistered life dedicated to prayer 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.
No Greater Love gives a unique insight into this closed world 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. Centred in
Holy Week, it follows a year in which a novice is professed and one of
the senior nuns dies. Though mainly an observational film there are
several interviews, which offer insights into their life, faith,
moments of doubt and their belief in the power of prayer in the heart
of the community.
?This is a beautiful, informative and inspiring study of a way of life
defiantly at odds with the glitzy priorities and frenetic pace of the
outside world.?
Edinburgh Film Festival 2009
I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than watch that.

I think it could be an interesting insight into a very different
lifestyle. Other than walking past one in the street occasionally
I've only ever had one experience of dealing with nuns. Many years
ago I had to visit a convent school to take a few photographs of
something. The only thing I remmber about it was the swearing nun
that was there. Makes them seem a bit more human.
