Review of Black Robe (1991) by Simona — 14 Oct 2007

So much better than "Dances With Wolves" that it's a shame to mention them in the same sentence. Not easy to watch in some places, and this will bore people who are mesmerized by high-budget Hollywood "epics," but this is a thoughtful and thought-provoking confrontation between extremely different cultures that examines issues of faith, compassion, love and sacrifice.

Be in the right mood to appreciate it -- it's a great movie.
