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.

The film revolves around Robert T. Edison who at 18 years of age left Britain for Thailand to become a Buddhist monk. Five years after he moves to Iceland in 1994 to form the first Buddhist sect in the country, he decides to disrobe and get married only to return later to Thailand to become a monk again [1].
