Default The movie "Of Gods and Men"

http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2010/...and-men-review

I saw this profoundly moving and memorable film last night on DVD. Has anyone else seen it yet? (It is French-made, but I think it has been released in the U.S.)

It is about the seven Benedictine monks who were murdered by fundamentalists in Algeria in 1996. The subject isn’t sensationalized at all, though. It is used for a profound meditation on love and conscience and other essential things.

Don’t miss it, if it’s at the cinema now. I'd like to see it again, on a bigger screen, as it is quite artful visually as well.
