content: If you liked 'Last of the Mohicans', 'The Mission', or 'The New World', then read on. This film is relatively unknown in the UK, and sadly does not seem to be available in Region 2. If you can play films from other regions, I urge you to buy this veritable masterpiece. The haunting scenery, understated acting, and overwhelming authentic period feel, add up to a memorable cinema experience that will stay with you. The portrayal of the savage culture of the native American Indians can be hard to watch at times but the excellent cast draw you in to the story in a way seldom seen these days. Not a blockbuster or action film, this will reward the fan of historical drama, and those who can appreciate first class cinematography and photography. Don't be put off by the 'religious' theme, it is only part of a wider view on colonisation and faith.Serious cinema for the true film buff.
