Original Title: Die große Stille
Writer/Director: Philip Gröning
Year: 2005
A documentary on the contemplative life of prayer as observed by the Carthusian Order in France. No voice over explaining why, or what, or how... instead, the great decision by this director was to simply observe, to follow, in silence... and it makes sense. You don't need explanation... by simply observing, the contemplative life reveals itself to the audience. Beautiful, and meditative, but it can be difficult to sit through without falling asleep.
