Another Ciro Guerra's masterpiece. Fascinating movie. After "The wind
Journeys" Guerra shows again his talent with an incredible history
about the Amazonas jungle back in the early 1900s. The beauty and
uniqueness of the scenes is mind blowing. The sound takes you deep
inside the jungle. The story is a thriller that makes you live the most
strange adventures that you could ever imagine in the jungle. It is
based on two diaries written by a German and American travelers. All
actors have an incredible command of the indigenous dialect.
Additionally, the native indigenous actors seem to be truly
professionals. Enjoyed every single minute. A must see.
