If you loved The Killing Fields, try The Mission
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Roland Joffé, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Killing Fields, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Mission is
South American jungle, 18th century, a waterfall resounds. A Jesuit priest and a slave hunter forge an unlikely alliance, their mission a fragile outpost. Joffé grounds his epic in the muddy realities of colonialism.
