movie review - Black Robe

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1999.01.25

About a jesuit priest making a miserable journey to the mission among the Hurons, all the way from Quebec. It's the 17th century, and the natives are restless. Excellent film. Quite grimly realistic.

Recommended.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
