Into Great Silence (Die Große Stille) is a documentary film directed by Philip Gröning that was first released in 2005. It is an intimate portrayal of the everyday lives of Carthusian monks of the Grande Chartreuse, high in a remote corner of the French Alps (Chartreuse Mountains). The film was made about 17 years after the director first requested permission to make it. Then he lived at the monastery for six months, and filmed all alone, behind the walls no 'outsider' had ever been allowed to enter before.
