One of the most celebrated and influential film composers in the history of the medium, Ennio Morricone penned the iconic themes for such films as "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly"(1967), "Days of Heaven"(1978), "The Mission"(1986), "The Untouchables"(1987) and "Cinema Paradiso"; (1988). Seldom has a film become more famous for its musical score. In the Mission we hear him at the zenith of his powers. His score has been played by symphony orchestras and recorded by YoYo Ma. An excerpt was played by our own Symphony in the Valley this fall. Jesuit priest Father Gabriel (Jeremy Irons) enters the Guarani lands in South America with the purpose of converting the natives to Christianity. He builds a mission and is joined by Robert De Niro, a reformed slave trader seeking
redemption. The Portuguese government wants to capture the natives for slave labor. Winner of the Palme Dór Cannes 1986. It will sound great on our new ATMOS sound system. (USA 1986) 135min. PG
