See this Movie

A very good movie. And I recall that many questions around their death remain unsolved.

And, mon père quand traduira-t-on votre"jesuit guide" en français?

I experienced seeing this movie last summer in a small town’s cinema in Southwest France. The theater was full, and the audience silent and absorbed in the film. No sounds of chomping on popcorn, no conversations. The admiration for the monks’ courage in knowing that Jesus would protect them was palpable.  Coincidentally, I made a new friend with a monk from the nearby (7mi.) Benedictine L'Abbaye d'En Calcat. The film captures much of the monks' community life and how they make decisions as a community.
There was a lot of discussion in the French media last summer on how popular this religious film was in contemporary secular France. What did that signify: a longing for a less secular past, another retelling of what was lost when Algeria became independent?
Yes.  See this movie.

Thank you for the recommendation.  I saw the movie last night and it was gorgeous.  It was a beautiful movie that felt like cinematic prayer, a wonderful meditation on grace and duty, on community, on interreligious life, on what it is to be a faulted human in love with a perfect God, and all at a thoughtful monastic pace.

Wonderful.

I hope that this is not treated as one of those "art cinema" films and given limited showing in obscure theatres.  Any word of where I can find out where it will be showing, i.e., the Left Coast, particularly San Francisco?
