Not about Fim Making

Rating: 8/10 (15 January 2010)

A wonderfully told true story about politics versus reality. This film would have one on the fence, understanding both sides of the divide. One would find oneself sympathizing with the church in Europe at the time as well as with the native inhabitants of the film, whose local naivety maybe allowed them to not understand the mechanics of power on an International scale; and rightly so.
Joffe's direction coupled with Morricone's greatest ever score make this file an absolute must for anybody who considers themselves a film buff. You ain't no buff until you've reviewed this.
Wonderful performances throughout, wonderful direction and a masterful score make this one of THE movies of the Twentieth century.
