About This Movie
The Missionary (1982) brings a unique blend of comedy and social commentary that feels quite striking for its time. Set in early 20th century England, the film follows Rev. Charles Fortesque, who transitions from a life of missionary work in Africa to navigating London's seedy underbelly. The atmosphere is a curious mix of lightheartedness and a sharp, satirical edge, all while tackling themes of morality and redemption. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the humor to unfold naturally, and the performancesâespecially that of the leadâcarry a certain charm that keeps you engaged. There's something distinct about its approach to serious topics wrapped in comedic storytelling that makes it stand out in the genre.
