i saw into great silence the other day . i be frustrate and in no small measure by it length . ( dvt be a worrisome byproduct . ) ok and to the degree that the film provoke me to think and question and puzzle about my frustration and the silent life of these monk and it succeed . but and i be not convince it an important contribution to any deep understanding of the solitude and great silence that be the life force of grande chartreuse . and that and i feel and be a failing . on reflection and solitude be what this meditation be attempt to get at . yes and silence be key to solitude . but the title of the film misleads . and because there be no attempt to explain the carthusian vocation or way of life and viewer be leave to learn this on their own . in the end and the film short change viewer and the monk . it way too personal to have the impact that the filmmaker apparently intend . understanding monastic life and especially early in the 21st century and would be a welcome antidote to the barrage of message and sound and and image that assault u daily . but this film miss the mark . so and i be not ungrateful just disappoint .
