The movie is very nice. I had noted Daniel Bruhl before and I think he is a wonderful German actor. I saw him firstly in "Joyeux Noel", another good movie.
The scenery from the movie is beautiful. The acting of the main four actors is more than good. The human nature, with ups and downs is well presented in this film. It is a film about the special relation between people and God and the relations among the people. The trip of the three monks, forced to leave their peculiar unique monastery from Germany, broken, belonging to an order excommunicated centuries ago by a pope, to the sister monastery from Italy, the last one of their order of "cantors" is both a material and a spiritual trip. The play of the principal actors is sometime funny and sometime very touching like the three monk group itself. Although they are so different one from each other, Benno is the erudite guy, the intellectual type, Tasillo is the natural while Arbo, interpreted by Daniel Bruhl is the young of the group, the artist, they are united in their love for God and for the music, the milestone of their order. The Gregorian chants, which I always loved, are superb, both as plays and as interpretation.
Once escaped in the real world Arbo would fell in love with Chiara, the sharp journalist. The three monks and the journalist will have a lot of adventures. At the end Arbo chose Chiara and the real world.
The character Chiara interpreted by Chiara Schoras is both brilliant and very sexy.
