It is extremely moving, peaceful, and never boring.<BR/><BR/>Do try to see it in a movie theater, though, because I'm sure it will lose some of its impact on the small screen.Gabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429965049921573531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36251174.post-25065906247873016372007-04-27T01:19:00.000-05:002007-04-27T01:19:00.000-05:00Thanks for the well informed comments!Thanks for the well informed comments!Saginawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13610535680715504290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36251174.post-34894472757153055912007-04-26T22:46:00.000-05:002007-04-26T22:46:00.000-05:00Thanks for posting the information on the DVD of t...Thanks for posting the information on the DVD of this.<BR/><BR/>I saw the movie when it opened in Minneapolis about Mar 30.<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed it. But some of those who attended with me fell asleep.<BR/><BR/>A common reaction was that it should be best seen on a big screen because you really have to pay attention.<BR/><BR/>I recommend to all those who haven't seen it yet to do a little research in the Internet on Carthusians on Google, Wikipedia, etc., to familiarize yourself with what you will be watching.<BR/><BR/>You'll want to at some point if you invest in the DVD anyway.<BR/><BR/>You won't see much "liturgy." Only brief glimpses. Apparently, the "Carthusian Rite" is very plain.<BR/><BR/>And shown in the movie are the "contemplative" Carthusians under perpetual vows; and also a Temporary Vow class of those who do much of the manual labor (cooking, farming, barbering, etc) for the monastery. But it is not explained as there is no explanation in the movie to speak of.<BR/><BR/>The links you will find will explain that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08332138030182107580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36251174.post-76244779096314685952007-04-26T21:01:00.000-05:002007-04-26T21:01:00.000-05:00Awesome.

I've read several articles about this film and I cannot wait for the opportunity to see it!Christopher https://www.blogger.com/profile/14032554663810262028noreply@blogger.com
