medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I remember seeing sometime ago a film about life in the Grande Chartreuse, the title of which I can't recall but which I thought was exceptionally good.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Can anyone recommend a DVD or downloadable film that would give a class of undergrads a good idea of medieval monastic life and the monastic day? Something fairly basic would fir the purpose: church, refectory, cloister, dormitory, perhaps scriptorium or library and novitiate, work, chant, abbot, those kinds of things.
I'm sure I've seen a documentary on 1940s/50s Trappists at Gethsemani in Kentucky which would fit the bill surprisingly well, but now I can't find it. Of course, the 1940s are not medieval but as I recall it focused very well on the traditional features of monasticism without too many distractions. But anything similar would do.
Thanks in advance. -- Paul
