Tho it is 'slow' and the 'action' is 'internal' it is not considered a religious/spiritual film. However, the meditative/spiritual (religious way of) life is, by definition internal, quiet, prayerful! The story quotes someone as saying that life/society has become cold, hopeless and lacking in meaning and describes French society as being 'secular'. Thus we see what a secular perspective gives the human heart. The religious, in France, appear to be failing in their mission of bringing God, spirituality and the 'meaning' found within them to these spiritually starved people. God have mercy on the religious and the secular and help them all experience the powerful, amazing, beautiful and how profoundly meaningful it is to know and walk with the living God!
