Political vs Spiritual...Art in Celluloid.

Rating: Null/10 (9 April 1999)

This film is the finest expressions of the neglect or opposition of the spiritual in favour of political expediency I have ever seen.
The other comments for this film eloquently, or at least enthusiastically, extoll it's virtues and I can only rephrase what they have said...
Suffice to say that the Mission remains one of my favourite films. I saw it many years ago and my only regret is that I did not see it in the cinema. Regardless, the impression it made upon me has been indelible. As an artist, I only hope that I can create something that touches or moves my audience in such a way.
A wonderful film that, ever so briefly, absolves Hollywood of its sins.
