French writer and director Xavier Beauvois delivered a remarkable film based on actual events. A group of Christian monks living peacefully in a remote Algerian village are faced with a dilemma whether to stay or leave as violence spreads across the country. Beauvois along with his terrific cast and crew created a profound film about peace and humanity that faces increasing destruction as violence and hatred spreads around the world. Beauvois allows the audience to engage in the dilemma that makes for a profound experience. The terrific cast includes Lambert Wilson and Michael Lonsdale with subtle and honest performances. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
