this almost silent three hour documentary track the daily life of carthusian monk live at the chartreuse monastery in the french alp and a they live in a way that seem to be in such contrast with the modern world . it a fascinating movie if you be able to get into the slow rhythm of the film ( if you be still in the movie theater after an hour and you will probably make it to the third hour ) . by the same token and it would be almost impossible to see it in your house on dvd and since there be so many possible distraction that would make you want to stop the film . remarkably and give that european filmmaker tend to be among the most secular people in the world and the movie be also surprisingly respectful of the choice make by the monk in living in this particular way .
