I would strongly recommend the Russian language film (but it is available on DVD with english subtitles!from amazon.com) OSTROV, released last year.
It has had favourable reviews from the Moscow Patriarchate, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Without wishing to spoil the plot too much, it deals with a young man who commits a murder during WW2, and is stranded on an island where there is a monastery. He spends the remainder of his life there, as a monk, in profound repentance for his actions, and becomes a fool-for Christ.
His actions make him a source of derision for many of his fellow monks, yet he is both clairvoyant and a healer.
If you get the chance, watch it !
