Many consider this to be the best Hollywood cinematic depiction of the Tridentine Mass, because De Niro, in the role as the priest, gives so accurate a portrayal of a priest doing the rubrics of the Mass. There’s also the inclusion of the Jacob Arcadelt Ave Maria, which is beautifully performed.
It’s from the 1981 film-noir, True Confessions, which is knowing a new audience because it can be downloaded on Netflix.
One of the producers was Robert Chartoff, who also worked with De Niro on Raging Bull.
