From Bruce Beresford, the director of Driving Miss Daisy, Tender Mercies and Breaker Morant comes an epic adventure of the heart and spirit that the critics are comparing to Dances With WoIves.
In the rugged 17th century Canadian wilderness, Father Laforgue (Lothaire BIuteau), a young, idealistic Jesuit priest, is assigned to go up river into the wilderness on a periIous journey to convert the Huron lndians. His Algonquin Indian guides nickname him "Black Robe." His young aide and transIator, Daniel (Aden Young), faIls in love with Annuka (Sandrine HoIt), the beautiful daughter of the Algonquin chief.
Torn between his own desires and ideals of the priesthood, Laforgue's faith is tested as the expedition faces the eIements. Attacked, captured and brutalized by hostile Indians, the traumatic experience chaIlenges everything the young priest beIieves. Together with his young companions, he escapes to complete his mission and comes to understand the true spirit of the Iand and the spirit he sought to convert. |
