Into Great Silence is a film about solitude, meditation, and beautiful scenery. Watching the film is a meditation in itself as the absence of dialogue creates a sense of awareness and alertness that induces a stilling of the mind. An excellent film that is far too long, Into Great Silence goes for almost three hours! Two hours would have certainly been enough, but if you do check it out you have to see it through to catch one of the final scenes involving the old monks taking time out to slide down the snowy mountainside.
