Review of The Mission (1986) by Raja N — 12 Apr 2008
The mission has all the tools for the perfect classic : An intelligent screenplay by Robert Bolt, an oustanding score by Ennio Morricone, an oscar deserving win for Chris Menges' cinematography, and at last but not least, Jeremy Irons and Robert DeNiro taking over both leading roles.
From Steven Greydanus' review ; The mission is something of an enigma, and you have always the feeling that there was something about that movie that didn't hold together.
I basically share that feeling, also knowing and admitting that this is a very difficult, and a beautiful film.
