Into Great Silence (German: Die große Stille) is a documentary film directed by Philip Gröning that was released in 2005. It is an intimate portrayal of the everyday lives of Carthusian monks of the Grande Chartreuse, a monastery high in the French Alps (Chartreuse Mountains).

Synopsis

Le projet initial date de 1984, lorsque Philip Gröning envoie une demande au monastère pour leur proposer de les filmer. Les Chartreux ne l'ont rappelé qu'en 1999, lui donnant finalement leur accord. Le cinéaste a vécu six mois parmi eux en 2002-2003, dans la discrétion la plus grande, accumulant 120 heures d'images. Il en résulte un film d'une durée de 2 heures 42, sans dialogues ou presque (généralement des prières), sans musique additionnelle, sans commentaire, sans autres bruits que ceux produits par les gestes du quotidien, sans autres voix que celles relevant de l'accomplissement du rite.

Malte's sister Barbel is shown defending her father and insisting that he could not have known the full truth about Auschwitz, that he tried to resist or subvert the Nazi's most inhumane policies, and that the victims of Auschwitz should be thought of as casualties of war. Malte also includes testimony from a member of a Jewish family in Slovakia whose house was expropriated by the Nazis in the early 1940s.
