Of Gods and Men** (15)
Ipswich Film Theatre
In 1996 the Cistercian monks at a village in Algeria find their peaceful way of life threatened by Islamic terrorists.
The terrorist threat (with several false alarms until the final tragic hostage taking) is a pervading menace to what is elsewise a beautifully observed and deliberately laboured study of the monks' way of life and their relationship with the community, and how powerful this and their faith keeps them there in spite of the danger. It only fleetingly covers the more interesting aspect of the clash between different religions.
