Ce qu'il reste de nous

A deeply moving and important film. Has remained frequently in my thoughts since I first viewed it in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Its the first movie which has ever motivated me to ask my local theatre to add it to their showings for the year.

Without much in the way of script, just straightforward reactions of local Tibetans still waiting for their challenge to be taken seriously and endorsed by the world: that peace is better than violence. Their conviction and hope even in the face of suffering creates an inescapable echo in my soul.

One of the few movies that proves when your topic is important enough there is no need for high tech, fast action or Hollywood glamour. We need more like this one.
