Sis­ter Act

Emile Ardolino — USA — 1992 — 100 min — Eng­lish with Czech subtitles

The fiery lounge singer Deloris Van Carti­er spends her spare time with her lover — mar­ried mob­ster Vince. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, one day she wit­ness­es him point­ing a gun at the head of a dis­loy­al asso­ciate. Guid­ed by her strong sur­vival instincts, she decides it’s time to flee his embrace. She runs straight to the police and agrees to tes­ti­fy against him. Grate­ful to have a key wit­ness, the police hide Deloris in the last place the mob would think to look — a con­vent. Appalled by every­thing even remote­ly resem­bling a nun, Deloris is furi­ous and would seem­ing­ly rather take her chances with the mob. But it’s too late. Now she’s stuck with an unflat­ter­ing habit, strict dis­ci­pline, and a shock­ing lack of enter­tain­ment. After a short bout of despair, the deter­mined diva bounces back and soon turns the con­vent upside down. The Moth­er Supe­ri­or, des­per­ate to keep Deloris out of sight, assigns her to the choir — hop­ing she’ll fade into the back­ground. But Deloris, full of ini­tia­tive, wastes no time trans­form­ing the nuns’ drea­ry singing into elec­tri­fy­ing per­for­mances. Church atten­dance sky­rock­ets, and media atten­tion fol­lows. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, Vince even­tu­al­ly learns where Deloris is hid­ing. She is kid­napped — but the gang­sters don’t count on a divine coun­ter­at­tack. The deter­mined sis­ters band togeth­er and march into the lion’s den to res­cue their choir star and let jus­tice (and sis­ter­hood) prevail.
