马格达勒纳·维拉加(1987)

“尼娜·门克斯”导演的《马格达勒纳·维拉加》是一部非常好的电影，加上Tinka Menkes等演员的加盟，使这部原本平淡的剧本焕发出新的光彩，赢得了观众的高度评价。

　　Menkes’ spellbinding, formally inventive first feature follows detached sex worker Ida (Tinka Menkes) through the bars, flophouses and swimming pools of East Los Angeles as she moves inextricably towards an unexpected spiritual awakening. Blending poetry by Anne Sexton, Mary Daly and Gertrude Stein, with allusions to Catholicism and mediaeval witch hunts, this stylish and slow-burning psycho-noir builds to a spectacular denouement.
