i expect to get a minimum of understanding of life in the grande chartreuse and of what bring people there and of why they be so few and of how they maintain this immense edifice and of their role in the making and selling of their famous liquor and a good dose of gregorian singing and an appreciation of the architecture . instead i get 3 hour of sketchy and incoherent and repetitive shot . three close ups of face be repeat 4 time and the rope of the main bell be activate many time and a dark screen with flicker candle be see too often and the shaving of monk head be shoot at length and include several minute show the barber ( not shave ) look flabbergast . oh . yes and they sell the liquor and because on the left of the monk use a laptop there be a letter in french from a wine and liquor company ( see for 5 second ) . the movie also have too many shot purposely and gratuitously out of focus . in short and an exercise in artiness leave much to be desire . two thumb down .
