a sensitive and deeply move film . we follow the life in silence of the monk in the grande chartreuse monastery in the french alp . only once a week be the monk aloud to talk when they go for a walk in the wood or glide in the snow during winter . the photography be magnificent a the camera respectfully observe the monk quiet life of prayer and daily task . at certain interval we see close up of the monk whose face impact u by simply be present . during two hour we become part of the monastery and the routine and the beauty of the mountain that surround u . after see fifty film at the sundance film festival and this be the film that have stay with me . the filmmaker wait 16 year before he get permission to shoot in the monastery and it be well worth wait .
