'Your name is Justine' is a very touchy movie of the disturbing kind. A polish movie directed by Franco de Pena and produced in Luxembourg in the year 2005, has the debut of the actor Anna Cieslak who played Mariola, the lead character. Movie shows, how a jovial, happiness seeking, beautiful girl from a suburban Poland, thrown into forced prostitution in Berlin, Germany; seduced, betrayed and sold by her boyfriend.Lacking the courage to suicide, failing in all the attempts to escape, She tries to adapt to the new way of life. Mariola takes her vengeance by killing her boyfriend and comes back to her freedom after three years of imprisonment. As expected from any cross-border movie, 'Your name is Justine' makes its own passive and silent political statements.Portrayal of Mariola, with her journey from a beautiful adolescent life which she shared with her loving grand mother, to the violent sexual captivity in a foreign land and there on to a miraculous freedom by not accepting the defeat, was brilliant. When this performance's coming from an actor who was donning the greasepaint for the first time in her life, its definitely great. The name of the movie came from a scene when the ruthless German buyer of Mariola does a forceful christening saying, 'Your name is Justine'.'Your name of Justine' has striking visuals especially on the scenes where Mariola realizes she has no chance to escape as she was locked up in an abandoned building in a remote and disconnected locality. One of such scenes can be seen in the poster.
