The Mission
Directed by Roland Joffe
1986
United Kingdom
★ 4.0 editorial score
Ennio Morricone said he recognized himself in this score technically and spiritually: Jesuits build a mission above the Iguazu falls in the 1750s, and Europe decides its fate from several thousand miles away.
“The focus of ''The Mission'' is the story of the crises of conscience faced by two very different Jesuits when, at last, the Pope's envoy decides against the local priests. Will they take up arms against the crown to protect the Indians, who trust them and to whom they've brought God's love?”
