穿越天堂的消息

一部记录希腊Athos圣山上的修道士日常生活的纪录片，很安静平和的影像，对白也不多，对于神学佛学我都不是太懂，但这片给我的感觉有点像前几年法国拍的一部宗教影片，也是讲一座山上修道院里的生活，只可惜片名忘记了。。。：（Title: Passages Through ParadiseRunning Time: 70 MinutesCountry: GreeceGenre: Biography, Philosophy, Religions & Belief SystemsA trip in Mount Athos. A personal view of the monks activities, during the four seasons, seen through their daily life in their world. Patience and toil, vision and faith, the new in a dynamic continuity, with the old. Similarity and diversity within a common brotherhood. Everything moves in silence, one inside the other, constantly changing forms but always remaining the same.A brilliant documentary featuring the remote medieval monasteries of Mount Athos, the centre of Eastern Orthodox Monasticism.
