    Des hommes et des dieux

    I'm being (sort of, but not unwillingly) dragged to this film tonight. Has anyone seen it (yes, of course they have, I mean anyone here)? I will report my opinions even if no one's interested
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

        Would recommend, am51. For a longish film (2hrs) there isn't a lot of action, plenty of monks chanting (I mean plenty of chanting, not that many monks). Some lovely photography. More absorbing than gripping.

        I knew how it finished and somehow this creates more tension than when something is a total surprise. The end was elegant in taking place after the film had finished.

          Many thanks, french frank. Thus encouraged, I shall toddle along next Monday (I got my weeks mixed uo ).

          I hope that it has a tad more plot than 'Into Great Silence' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478160/

          Tonight I hope to see 'Somewhere'. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1421051/
