Nothing but praise for this film.

Rating: 10/10 (13 November 1998)

This film provides an awe inspiring view about the mixture of religion and politics in 18th century South America. It provides many points of view, from the point of the natives, the priests, and the political leaders. Near the climax, this film has you either want to kneel and pray, or grab a sword and join the fight. Not only is the story great, but music and cinematography is absolutely breath-taking. A wonderful film, pleasing to the eye, ear, and mind.
