Film: Of Gods and Men
Posted on 05. Jan, 2011 by Mrs Moorhouse in Français
From Friday 14th January until Thursday 20th January, Broadway Cinema are showing Of Gods and Men, the latest film by Xavier Beauvois.
Described by Broadway as “the harrowing true story of a brotherhood of French monks in the highlands of North Africa who find themselves threatened by Islamic extremists during the Algerian Civil War of the 1990s. When insurgents arrive, they find themselves faced with an impossible decision: to flee, or to stand their ground and fulfill their spiritual mission. A poetic, austerely beautiful triumph.”
Watch a clip from the film below.
This film is not to be missed and received a rare 5-star review in The Guardian’s film column. Read it here. See Mrs Moorhouse for more details about a forthcoming trip to see the film.
