In this episode\xa0of our Daniel Day-Lewis Acteurist Oeuvre-view, we go from the depths of obscurity, the straight-to-video\xa0Eversmile, New Jersey\xa0(1989, directed by Carlos Sorin), to the heights of box office success, with Day-Lewis's first, and only, Hollywood action movie,\xa0The Last of the Mohicans\xa0(1992, directed by Michael Mann).We praise the hilarious\xa0slice of madness that is\xa0Eversmile, New Jersey, in which Day-Lewis plays a quixotic missionary for "dental consciousness" in Patagonia, arguing that it contains a great Day-Lewis performance, and discuss The Last of the Mohicans' treatment\xa0of the French and Indian War.\xa0
