Yes, but the Italian title (the one used by Morricone) is "Mission"... I was being philologically correct! (It was also an attempt to avoid confusion with the piece by JW called "The Mission").

Made for a Euro audience If you require all contributions to a European film to be strictly from Europe/Europeans, there won't be that many films left to talk about. That's probably why the Council of Europe came up with the following point system in order to qualify: The criteria[2] whereby a film qualifies as European are based upon the European Convention on Cinematographic Co-production, Appendix II, issued by the Council of Europe. This definition might be extended for Israeli and Palestinian works and nationalities. A cinematographic work qualifies as European if it achieves at least 16 points (out of 21). The European Film Academy uses a lower minimum of 13 points.

TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 1 hour ago, Score said: This is a very good one, arguably Rota's best film score. The only ding is that the absolutely outrageously beautiful love theme was not composed for this film. It was from a prior symphony that he wrote. So the most memorable music from the film, the music that everyone remembers and wants to buy, is not written for the film. But still, I agree it is a great score. I might not call it his best but one of his best for sure. It also works very well in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
