`Mission' is judged best film at Cannes

Chicago Sun-Times | May 20, 1986 | Copyright

CANNES, France (AP) "The Mission," a film by Britain's Roland Joffe about two Jesuit priests in 18th century Latin America, last night won the Golden Palm Award for best film at the 39th Cannes Film Festival.

The $22 million film, starring Robert de Niro and Jeremy Irons, deals with slavery, the Roman Catholic Church and the suffering of the Indian population under Spanish and Portuguese colonialism.

The prize was presented by U.S. director Sydney Pollack, president of the 10-member jury, and is the second major triumph for Joffe, whose "The Killing Fields" won three Oscars last year.
