Only in complete silence, one starts to hear.
Only when language resigns, one starts to see.
The Carthusian Order is reputed as one of the most strict brotherhoods out there. The monastery is based in the French Alps, and this is a documentary about it. Or is it more than a documentary about a subject?
Do watch it. It could purify your thought-flows, clear things up (or speed you to a quick nap!)
From the description on the film site (diegrossestille):
The film is an austere, next to silent meditation on monastic life in a very pure form. No music except the chants in the monastery, no interviews, no commentaries, no extra material.
Changing of time, seasons, and the ever repeated elements of the day, of the prayer. A film to become a monastery, rather than depict one. A film about awareness, absolute presence, and the life of men who devoted their lifetimes to god in the purest form. Contemplation.
An object in time.
