More on “Of Gods and Men”

A) Steve Greydanus loves it, which is good enough for me.

B) A priest friend in Ireland writes:

It is a superb movie Mark!!

Very moving, indeed I spoke to our local Benedictine superior (an Irishman, though he entered the French monastery of Bec) about it. He told me that the Diocese of Amiens organised a showing of it and it was packed out. Indeed it won the French Oscars recently.

I saw it twice. Brought a number of college students with me to see it and everyone them found it equally moving. Remarkable, particularly the dialogue pieces of Bro Luc with the young Muslim woman and the chapter talk by Fr Christian near the end.

Okey doke. I think I will try to check it out!
