This review is from: NEW Into Great Silence (DVD) (DVD)
I watched this film and it is amazing to see how these monks of the Carthusian order live. It is beautifully filmed and rather a strange experience. These men live in complete silence - except for praising God in chant. It is a sincere and interesting look into the contemplative life.I'm a lay Carmelite and I think it has a lot to say to us who live in the west. You can't watch this film in one sitting. It's pretty long. But I must reflect that it is truly a blessing to sit and watch when you have some time and just want to be quiet. Here are men, in the French Alps who live a life of union in this rare look into a remote order of the church which I've only heard of. People who are superficial will not see the beauty of this film and say it's boring. You have to watch it and just appreciate the extreme devotion and prayerfulness of these holy monks. It is a rare glimpse into their lives and their hearts. The one thing that really is amazing about this film is when the monks chant. WOW. It sounds like heaven -- like nothing I've heard on this earth. I really like the tranquility and holy silence of this film. It makes me appreciate the quietness of life itself. |
