Yet however slowly paced, a film\u2019s grammar and rhythm will perhaps never truly approach the structure of solitude and contemplation that is the point here. Walk With Me is a study of the 91-year-old Vietnamese zen Buddhist monk\u00a0Thich Nhat Hanh, and his retreat in\u00a0Plum Village\u00a0in south-west France. His teachings are credited with the phenomenal success of mindfulness and the spiritual concentration on the present moment.<\/p>\n<p>The rich, mannered voice of\u00a0Benedict Cumberbatch, a longtime admirer, recites Hanh\u2019s writings. There are long, calm takes of visitors to the retreat, and the monks \u2013 who have refrained from worldly pleasures \u2013 in permanent situ. The film has some startling moments, particularly two people who worked together in Minnesota decades before who meet up in this retreat by pure chance, not recognising each other at first \u2013 and one believing the other to have died long ago. It is an eerie afterlife scene.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fuCtNK0DLQw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peter Bradshaw\/ The Guardian 3 out of 5 Stars Benedict Cumberbatch narrates this thoughtful documentary about zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, whose teachings have popularised the mindfulness movement.
