[Buddha-l] Filming silence in a Carthusian monastery

[Franz Metcalf]

Joanna et al.,

I'm afraid bringing my two year old daughter to a showing of "The Great 
Silence" is probably not right speech, so I may not see it in a 
theater. But I did notice the film's review in the my newspaper and it 
was TREMENDOUS. Hard to recall ever reading a better one. Good luck in 
getting your theater to screen it. (It occurs to me that just as seeing 
a comedy among a laughing audience increases one's enjoyment immensely, 
seeing this film among a silent audience ought to increase its power 
immensely.)
