Blogged on here several times before, the German documentary about the Carthusian monastery – today, Sandro Magister writes about it.<\/a><\/p>\n

By coincidence, at the same time as the film is coming to the Italian theatres, there is growing attention to Carthusian monasticism in Italy and in the world. <\/p>\n

On Sunday, March 26, in Argentina, the popular newspaper \u201cClarin\u201d published an extensive survey, entitled \u201cA solas con Dios,\u201d of the only Carthusian monastery in the country, at De\u00e1n Funes, not far from C\u00f3rdoba. Its author, Leonardo Torresi, wrote it on a scale and in a style not unlike the cinematographic style of \u201cDie Grosse Stille.\u201d <\/p>\n

In Italy, "Avvenire," the newspaper of the bishops’ conference, published an editorial by Fabio Falzone on Gr\u00f6ning’s film, on March 22. And on March 29, it dedicated two full pages of its cultural section to the film, with commentaries from theologian Pierangelo Sequeri and poet Roberto Mussapi. Other newspapers showed similar interest. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
