"Into Great Silence - Die Große Stille" | Carthusian monks in solitude

Into Great Silence 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).

I could sit in an abbey and listen all day to the chants.. so beautiful. The closest thing to hearing the heavenly choirs.

I love this movie. Wish it was actually on here, in full.

I also watched it when it was on KZbin years ago. I just now checked in September, 2024. It is not here now. So it is now off the site again.

Yes!❤😂

[@jadonharper1493]

Very nice, sounds like you matched the key of the gregorian chants which was thoughtful too.

Many monastic communities offer the public the opportunity to visit for a day or longer stays for a weekend, week, etc... I did two weekends at a monastic community. Pure oasis from the world of stress. Recommend it to everyone.

Beautil life!!!

Vivre sans vivre en saint c'est vivre en insensé !

[@paulryan2128]

If they use ear buds, can the monks listen to music on a Walkman or other device? Are they allowed to have a cell phone in their cell?

[@RunarLundvall]

Good question! I wish I had the answer to this.

[@vinoneil]

I looked it up. No they can't. They also don't have access to the internet, etc.

[@iamsorryforbeingrudebefore1626]

They completely isolate themselves from outside world.

[@marilyndee969]

The Grande Chartreuse is also in a remote region of France. It is located in the Chartreuse Mountains, north of the city of Grenoble, in the commune of Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, France. You might not be able to get any connection to anything there even if you had the proper equipment.

does somebody know the gregorian chant sung in this trailer? thanks in advance

[@ranranshi]

It is not a hymn, that's for sure. Any one of the psalm melodies, chanted with no vigor.

[@DrElli-yk6qj]

I'd say they sing Psalm 148 or the litany from book of Daniel (Dan 3,57-88.56) because of the many iterations of "Benedicite" (praise). It's a generic type of chanting that you will find on many monasteries where they pray in gregorian chant. One of them would be Stift Heiligenkreuz in Austria, they also have some CD publications

[@crushtheserpent]

Does anyone know where I can see this film? It appears to be nowhere on the internet.

[@wolfgang4368x]

You can read that book.!❤😂
