Bella y sincera, la pose queda para las interpretaciones y para algunas lĂ­neas muy 'self eco conscious' de los indĂ­genas. El alemĂĄn pueblerino y el gringo bostoniano resumen dos enfoques con poca diferencia. El olvido juguetĂłn de Karamakate media estupendo entre ambos.

A very good movie

Even though it is a rather obscure feature, since I kept hearing some great things about this flick, my father especially loved it, I was really eager to check the damned thing. Well, I wasn’t disappointed, that’s for sure. To be honest, I still think the structure was actually rather straightforward though.

"Dull and confusing. The story around the Amazonian and the two European scientists simply was not interesting enough to hold my interest. Noteworthy for me mainly for the scenery of the Amazon and not much else. I can see why people can praise the film but for me it just isn't that memorable at all. "
