Black Robe (1991)

£0.00


Country: CAN/AUS
Technical: col 100m
Director: Bruce Beresford
Cast: Lothaire Bluteau, Aden Young

Synopsis:

In seventeenth century Canada a Jesuit priest sets out through encroaching winter to join a missionary outpost among the Huron. He is grudgingly guided by Algonquin tribesmen who in turn fall foul of the Iroquois.

Review:

Extraordinarily bleak but beautiful document, as ambivalent as its characters about the truth of the faith being offered to the savages. A pity French could not have been used since so much is in Indian tongues (and so subtitled) anyway.
