Reel Times Reflections on Cinema The Best Films of 2010 1. LOURDES (Jessica Hausner, 2009) LOURDES asks what a miracle is, on whose terms one should be determined, and who is deserving of such a blessing.

Into Great Silence Documentary In this contemplative documentary from filmmaker Philip Gröning, the Grande Chartreuse monastery opens its doors to the public for the first time since being founded by St. Bruno in 1084 to offer an intimate look at a lifestyle rarely experienced by those outside of the brotherhood.
