Captivating documentary looks at life in the French Alps
A world apart from Dreamgirls is Into Great Silence (Soda Pictures, 24.99), a captivating documentary by Philip Groning on life inside Grande Chartreuse in the French Alps, home of the Carthusian order whose monks have sworn a vow of silence.
Nusually, there is no music or narration, except for occasional natural sounds, such as crackling fires, or, believe it or not, snow falling.
