I've been wanting to see this. Actually, a good friend of mine has too ever since one of the priests at our parish mentioned it at Mass. I had my netflix on hold for a while, so I never did add it to my queue. I'll set the DVR and watch it later.

Oooh. I saw it at SIFF a couple years ago. it's gorgeous, but I'd recommend reading up on the Carthusians or Benedictine-derived monasticism first.
Thanks! I know a little about the Benedictine's because we have two monasteries where I live but I have yet to visit them. I don't know much about the Carthusians but I will learn. In fact, I may just DVR it and wait till my friend can join me to watch, provided she hasn't watched it yet.
But I've heard it's just a beautiful movie. I admire how monks can live such quiet and humble lives lives hidden from the outside world like that.
