    By Dorothea Holloway | April 17, 2014

    Today, 17.April 2014 at 23:35 Die Große Stille will be shown on BR Television. The right film for the night of Good Friday and for the Passion Week.

    From KINO – German Film No: No: 85 (2006) KINO Film of the Year 2005 by Ron Holloway:

    One of the finest religious documentaries ever made, Philipp Gröning waited fourteen years to film Die Große Stille (The Great Silence, Germany, X-Verleih). It took that long to receive permission from the abbot to film inside the Grande Carthreuse, the famous cloister at Grenoble. Founded by St. Bruno in 1084, in the valley of Carthreuse, the Carthusians were leaders in the monastic reform movement of the middle ages […]. The Great Silence by Philipp Gröning (producer, director, cameraman, screenwriter, editor ) takes the pulse of a religious order that has existed without noticeable change for nearly a thousand years.
