Directed by eminent filmmaker Xavier Beauvois (LE PETIT LIEUTENANT), OF GODS AND MEN was France’s intensely moving submission and nominee for Best Foreign Film at this year’s Academy Awards. In 1996 the kidnapping and murder of seven French monks was one of the culminating points of the violence and atrocities in Algeria resulting from the confrontation between the government and extremist terrorist groups that wanted to overthrow it. Based on this real-life story, OF GODS AND MEN captures the tension of the monks’ situation with gorgeous realism that has brought film festival audiences across Europe to tears.
