The Feminist Review

They call her a man-eater, a super groupie, a whore. These words don’t apply anymore – Marianne Faithfull has mellowed.

Instead the dame has acquired the younger generation’s wonder about her rich experience. But despite her recent achievements, an album and Irina Palm, many males think she is still what she was in the ’60s: raw, easy, a muse and whore (in a sense of the word).

Irina Palm, nominated for the Golden Bear for the best movie in Berlin in 2007, is simple, and witty – yet also tragic. It features Faithfull as a doting grandmother who will do anything for her loved ones. Her grandson, Olly, is suffering from an acute disease that needs prompt treatment and that’s where the problem begins. It means he has to be treated outside of Great Britain where specialists are waiting to cure him. No one in Olly’s family is rich and his grandmother Maggie (Marianne Faithfull) cannot afford the flight and lodging to Australia. They live in a modest house close to London. Overall, the relationship between Maggie and her daughter-in-law, Sarah, is strained.

Until Maggie decides to take the matter in her hands. Looking naively at the placard “Wanted Hostess,” a euphemism for whore, hanging in front of a sex shop window in Soho, she goes in and a new world unfolds for her.

She meets Miki, the wily owner of the sex shop. The moment he holds her hands she feels strange while he explains to her the “job” that she is about to do. He tells her that her hands are soft and precious and will make men longing. Until she finds out the real deal. She finds herself working in a room with a small hole, a “glory box” where the men can insert their penis. An Asian woman, who becomes her friend and later a rival, teaches her how to “touch” the men the right way. Appearance is not extremely important, the Asian woman says, rather the way one does the hand job on the clients. It is not long till Maggie earns the name and the reputation as Irina Palm, her eventual stage name.

Her son is wary when one day she hands them loads of money to help Olly’s treatment abroad. As soon as they find out the truth, Sarah changes her opinion towards her in-law and appreciates the sacrifice Maggie has made.

This might be an allegory of the life of the former muse of Rolling Stone. The difference between Faithfull and Maggie is that the former has lived a life of spotlights and bad press. Maggie is a simple widower who doesn’t have any inkling of the outside world yet has experienced that not everyone is nice and proper including her dead husband, who had an affair with her best friend. It is a crazy world out there and Faithfull has seen it all. To all the men out there who still believe she is a whore, oh, well, they haven’t grown up yet.
