The Last of the Mohicans is a 1992 historical epic film set in 1757 during the French and Indian War. It was directed by Michael Mann and based on James Fenimore Cooper's classic novel, although it owes more to the original 1936 film adaption than the source novel.
The main cast includes Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeleine Stowe, Russell Means, Eric Schweig and Jodhi May.
The film's style-over-substance nature was not lost on Desson Howe of the Washington Post called the movie "glam-opera" and "the MTV version of gothic romance". Howe added that Daniel Day-Lewis doesn't act so much as bare himself, fire flintlocks, and pose in picturesque positions".
The Washington Post's Rita Kempley also recognized the heavy drama, writing that the film "sets new standards when it comes to pent-up passion", but she comments positively on the "spectacular scenery". The movie is set in upstate New York, but was shot in or near North Carolina's Great Smoky Mountains.
