Des Hommes et Des Dieux (Of Gods And Men)

New film- Xavier Beauvois
Use of vertical/ horizontal. depth inside, blacklighting, monks/ horizontal pans
relate to landscape- telephot lens means has to be shot in daytime
creates geometry of monks
use of turning towards the light. Break ups of symmetry
hardowrking film, very very fragemented narrative
builds up, works hard to reach monstrous music scene
witnesses, rather than lives. Too documentarian?
Very good, but not perfect
