Into Great Silence is the first ever film about life inside the Grande Chartreuse, the mother house of the legendary Carthusian Order of monks based in the French Alps. A near silent meditation on monastic life in a very pure form, the film contains no music except the chants in the monastery, no interviews or commentaries. The gentle rhythm of the monastic pra yers and rituals give the film a beautiful cadence and the changing of time and seasons is captured by stunning cinematography.
