Great film. Von Sydow is great as the religious nut. I mean, come on, leave the islanders be. I spent most of the film wanting to punch all the people trying, and ultimately succeeding, to push their beliefs on the natives. Ultimately, a rather sad, very moving film

Jocelyne LaGarde is magnificent. I think this is her only filmed performance. She was a non-pro but she was a force of nature.
