With the beatification of the seven Trappist monks of Tibhirine (and 11 other male and female Religious killed during the civil war that raged in Algeria throughout the 1990s) due to take place on Saturday, December 8, I recently rewatched Of Gods and Men, the 2010 film about their tragic story. When I first watched it, in the subterranean Renoir Cinema in the Bloomsbury district of London, I was enthralled by it. It is always dangerous to return to a film you loved after a number of years, but I’m delighted to say that it is every bit as good as I remembered it to be.
