Movie Reviews of Into Great Silence (Two-Disc Set)

Movie Review: Awed and inspired.
Summary: 5 Stars

I admire them, and I am glad I bought this video, but this is a very special calling. Not for everyone, and not for me. You must leave the world, and in these times, with so many problems, I believe you must live and work with your fellow men and women to solve them. But knowing that there are people willing to leave everything and search for God, inspires me to try and work harder to help solve these same problems. I would specially recommend this video to people who are thinking of following a monastic life, not to discourage them, but so they will enter with open eyes.

Summary of Into Great Silence (Two-Disc Set)

Nestled deep in the postcard-perfect French Alps, the Grande Chartreuse is considered one of the world s most ascetic monasteries. In 1984, German filmmaker Philip Gr?ning wrote to the Carthusian order for permission to make a documentary about them. They said they would get back to him. Sixteen years later, they were ready. Gr?ning, sans crew or artificial lighting, lived in the monks quarters for six months filming their daily prayers, tasks, rituals and rare outdoor excursions. This transcendent, closely observed film seeks to embody a monastery, rather than simply depict one it has no score, no voiceover and no archival footage. What remains is stunningly elemental: time, space and light. One of the most mesmerizing and poetic chronicles of spirituality ever created, INTO GREAT SILENCE dissolves the border between screen and audience with a total immersion into the hush of monastic life. More meditation than documentary, it s a rare, transformative experience for all.
