There is a independent film/documentary about The Grande Chartreuse which is the mother house of the Carthusian Order, a contemplative order that is based in the French Alps. The film took 21 years from conception until it was finished. With little dialog it leads one through the solitary everyday life of these Catholic monks. I have not yet seen the film, but understand it is awe inspiring.
