Wilson outstanding in 'Of Gods and Men'

Director: Xavier Beauvois

Cast: Lambert Wilson, Farid Larbi, Michael Lonsdale

Cert: 15

The powerful and thoughtful Cannes Grand Prix winner dwells on the question of conflict and conscience as a community of French Cistercian monks in Algeria ponder the dilemma of a growing danger from Islamic fundamentalists … should they return to the safety of France or continue their good works in the local community?

As each man struggles for an answer to the question we see and feel their sense of fraternity and community.

As Brother Christian, the community leader, Wilson is outstanding in this film which is based on a real life incident.

Star Rating: 4/5
