4.0 out of 5 stars Europe encounters wilderness in nature and in the soul, 9 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Black Robe [1991] [VHS] (VHS Tape)
"Black Robe" is the film "Dances with Wolves" might have been if Kevin Costner could have faced up to the bleakness, the ferocity and ambivalent human conduct engendered by the North American wilderness. A European priest travels into the trackless Canadian interior on a mission. The mission is to save souls but conventional European wisdom seems inadequate to change the indwelling spirit of the land and its people. Despite the immense distance of his journey - both geographical and spiritual - he perseveres to his goal. On the way he explores the extremes of barbarity and beauty, betrayal and loyalty, aimlessness and commitment. He is transformed and prevails not by words or dogma but by self-sacrifice. This film is thoughtful and earthy, inpsiring and demoralising all at once. A silent canoe ride into the heart of darkness Conrad visualised in Africa. But instead of finding just "the horror" at the heart of darkness he also finds shining light - does the light come from the depth of his own imported faith or from the spirits animating his new world? Brutish violence and cruelty intermingled with purity and piety. Watch and be drawn into the endless wilderness of your own soul....

5.0 out of 5 stars No Hollywood glorifications here just raw beauty and harshness., 4 Jan 2008
This film based on Brian Moores novel depicts the rugged 1500 mile journey undertaken by Jesuit priest Father Laforge(Lothaire Blutheau) in order to convert what are seen as the savage Indian tribes living in the remote interior areas along Canada's St.Lawrence River in the mid 1600's to Christianity and away from worshipping their own gods and images.These tribes are mainly the Huron and Algonquin and a group of Algonquin reluctantly agree to help him complete his journey.One dangerous hazard soon begins to face him and his helpers after another which leads the Indians to question whether what they are doing is angering their Gods,Laforge to question for the first time if he will ever complete his mission.Extremely good acting,especially Sandrine Holt in her first major role.Beautiful scenery
