I remember it came out around the mid 90's, not long after Kevin Costner's Epic 'Dances With Wolves' made its Hollywood impact. Yet to my mind Bruce Beresford's depiction of the French Jesuit Priests on a mission in New France in the 17th century to save the so called 'savages' or natives from 'outer darkness', had an honesty that was both far more movingly beautiful even if brutally cruel.Why do I love this film so much? Let me count the ways. Well it's such a balanced and intelligent exploration of a complex subject. It presents no real right or wrong, no black or white, moral preachiness, or good guy/bad guy mentality. It paints a well researched and respectful picture of the Native American culture, steering away from demeaning stereotypes and hollywood predictability.Spiritualality and its cultural separations, are definitely a central theme in this film, and I just love the way Beresford treats both subjects and cultures with empathy and dignity. Father La Forgue however, seems the more forlorn and tragic figure here, out of his element amidst the icy, harsh Canadian landscape where nature shows no mercy. Deluded somewhat in his quest to save a race and culture, who perhaps ultimately, have just as much to teach the white man in terms of honour, bravery, respect for the laws of nature and avoidance of greed and ego. The cinematography, musical score and imagery are memorably beautiful. Particularly the references to the importance of dreams, and 'The waking world perhaps being an illusion'. The film also questions the hypocracy and interpretation of religion in a sense. Specifically, where 'Daniel'(Aiden Young), Father La Forgue's faithful assistant (torn between his devotion to his faith and love/lust for an Algonquian maiden 'Annuka'), makes the point." But they are true Christians Father, they live for each other, they forgive things we would never forgive".There are some impressive performances here. French Canadian, 'Lothaire Bluteau', of previous 'Jesus of Montreal' fame, is well cast as the young idealistic Jesuit Priest, Father La Forgue. He brings a suitable aura of gentle religious reverence to the role. But I particularly love the character of Chomina (August Schellenburg?). Who I think so perfectly represents the strong, noble and honourable Indian, coupled with a touching fragility and humanity that adds complexity to his character. An impressive film that provokes many thoughts and questions, it leaves the audience to make its own view point without force feeding them. And that in my view is cinema at its best. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Cultures clash in New France; poignant and graceful. *by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2017* The early 1990s saw a number of brilliant movies released centered on Native American history -- Son of the Morning Star, Dances with Wolves, and this, Black Robe, released on the heels of Dances with Wolves and overshadowed by its splashier and more mainstream Hollywood cousin. Black Robe might be seen as the Eastern, pre-United States counterpart to DWW in its similar theme of the clash of cultures and how a white civilization-based worldview might be altered through contact with the indigenous culture encountered by its representatives. This movie is more nuanced and subtle, however, and is suffused with a sadness and tragic quality that is true to history while not sacrificing heroism, nobility, and emotional involvement.The script, based on the novel, is brought to life superbly and the Canadian locations lend authenticity to this story of early Jesuit missionaries in what was then New France -- how the priests ("Black Robes") changed Indian society and were in turn changed. Father LaForgue is an isolated figure in a strange, new world full of menace and unknown challenges. His Huron companions regard him as an inscrutable, possibly dangerous outsider. And both move in fear of their mutual enemies, the Iroquois. The tale of Father LaForgue's journey from the fringes of French settlement into the heart of Indian territory is a quest of sorts, one that presents constant peril. At the end lies the possibility of redemption -- but at a price. And for the Indians, their world is changed forever, one way or another.There are no stock characters here -- the priests are neither saints nor rabid fanatics, the Indians are neither noble savages nor demonic villains (altho' the Iroquois, hereditary enemies of the Hurons as they are, come close to the latter). People are portrayed realistically, as a mix of good and bad, motivated in turn by faith, fear, lust, greed, or selflessness. A carefully crafted film with excellent performances, graceful direction, and a lyrical, evocative score by the great Georges Delerue (one of his last soundtracks). Five stars!PS: New movie "The Silence" looks to owe a debt to this earlier exploration of a similar topic. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ excelente *by J***Z on Reviewed in Spain on June 4, 2023* o --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/396500688-el-manto-negro-dvd-1991-import-movie-european-format-zone](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/396500688-el-manto-negro-dvd-1991-import-movie-european-format-zone) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-11-11*
