The soundtrack though was one of the best I've ever heard. I'm a huge score buff and I can't believe I've never heard this one before. It's spectacular.

Black Robe might be my favorite Canadian movie. Based on the Jesuit diaries.

Quote:
Black Robe was praised as a "magnificently staged combination of top talents delivering a gripping and tragic story",[3] and has been rated one of the most meticulously researched representations of indigenous life put on film.[8] Notably, the film includes dialogue in the Cree, Mohawk, and Algonquin languages. The French characters speak English in the film. Latin is used for Catholic prayers.
Political activist Ward Churchill, after highly praising the film-making, criticized historical inaccuracies.[9] He said he thought the film vilified the Mohawks as part of a theme that Indian resistance to European culture was evil.[10]
