The priest malayalam movie movie#
“Based on true events”, the movie does not shy away from the very real tensions between Catholic contemplatives and Islamic extremists in North Africa in the mid-1990s.
Of Gods And Men: A French 2010 film about a group of Trappist monks living in Algeria. It took the producers eighteen years of knocking at the monastery door before the monks finally let them in. Never before has a film crew been inside any Charterhouse. An unblinkered (and almost silent) look at what life as a Carthusian monk is really like. Into Great Silence: The 2006 Franco-German documentary that takes the viewer on a three-hour tour of La Grande Chartreuse- the “motherhouse” of all Carthusian monasteries. The movie is so long that even on the DVD the movie comes with an intermission.Ģ. However, it’s wonderfully filmed and mainly faithful to the book. Despite its panoply of stars-John Huston, Romy Schneider, Ossie Davies, Burgess Meredith and Tom Tryon-the film was not a box-office “success”. The Cardinal: Otto Preminger’s 1962 epic adaptation of Henry Morton Robinson’s novel of the same name. Note that Hoopes omitted foreign films, documentaries, and those “about” popes (all of which I’ve included here). Since that time at least three new movies (see below) have come out, but there were seven other that would have made my own personal list of favorites. Seven years ago Tom Hoopes, writing in these pages, had his own original great list of “Ten Great Movies About Priests”.
