Titicut Follies (1967)

Director:
Frederick Wiseman

Po prvi put u istoriji dokumentarnog filma kamera ulazi u zatvorsku ustanovu gde se "leche" mentalno oboleli pochinioci krivichnih dela, tj. ono sto se na zapadu zove i CRIMINALLY INSANE. Jako potresan dokumentarac ali i jako zamoran i muchan u pojedinim segmentima, jer ovde i doslovce prikazuju kako izgleda svakodnevni zivot u takvim ustanovama, tako da scene nisu ni malo zabavne. Naravno danas se situacija dosta promenila i mnogo se vise brine o ljudskim pravima po takvim ustanovama, ali u nekim drzavama ukljucujuci i nasu briga za dusevno obolele osobe je i dalje na najnizem mogucem nivou pa cak i da nisu pochinili bilo kakvo krivicno delo (primer bolnice Laza Lazarevic), a da ne pominjem neke ekstremnije primere kao sto je npr. odeljenje psihijatrije u okviru Centralnog zatvora. Treba napomenuti i to da je film bio zabranjen sirom sveta sve do 1992. godine i to zbog nekih totalno nebuloznih razloga, a zapravo jedini cilj je bio da javnost ne sazna kako drustvo/drzava postupa sa dusevno obolelim ljudima. (84 min)

"Titicut Follies is a black and white 1967 documentary film by Frederick Wiseman about the treatment of inmate / patients at Bridgewater State Hospital for the criminally insane, a Massachusetts Correctional Institution in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. The title is taken from a talent show put on by the hospital's inmates. (The talent show was taken from the Wampanoag name for the nearby Taunton River in their native language). The film was subjected to a worldwide ban until 1992 because the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that it was an invasion of inmate privacy. The film goes behind the walls to show stark and graphic images exposing the treatment of inmates by guards, social workers, and psychiatrists. The repulsive reality revealed in Titicut Follies forces us to contemplate our capacity for callousness. The documentary was cited as the "Best Film Dealing with the Human Condition" at the 1967 Festival Dei Popoli (Florence) and also honored as the "Best Film" at the 1967 Mannheim International Filmweek. After a showing of Titicut Follies the mind does not dwell on the hospital's ancient and even laughable physical plant, or its pitiable social atmosphere. What sticks, what really hurts is the sight of human life made cheap and betrayed."
