Of Gods and Men

Directed by Xavier Beauvois

In a remote part of Algeria the threat from violent Islamic fundamentalists grows and a group of French monks must decide whether to leave their monastery and their community. With excellent performances from the ensemble cast of French character actors led by Lambert Wilson and Michael Lonsdale, Of Gods and Men is both thought provoking and moving in equal measure. A storming success last Christmas, we’re pleased to welcome back what The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw hailed with 5 stars and described as “one of the year’s highlights”.
