One of the best Reed's. Great exploit of location, you can feel -because the monologues say so and the direction too- the greed of white man exploiting savages, the eroticism of people and landscape, the morbid thoughts, the last minute dignity. Great film.

Willems, driven by his passion for Aissa, is manipulated by her father and his counseller, former Malay pirates, to betray to a rival Arab trader the secret trading route of his benefactor, Captain Lingard, who condems him to be an outcast.

"Sleazeball Peter Willems, recently fired from his job in a counting house in the Dutch East India colony of Makassar, settles in a remote village in Borneo. At first accepted by the local colonists, including the shady trading post official Almayer and the kind-hearted Captain Lingard, Willems soon resumes his downward spiral, spurred by his obsession with a beautiful native woman, Aissa. This is director Carol Reed's splendid and comprehensive examination of the civilized man vs savage dilemma"
