An Amazonian adventure shot in beautiful black and white, Embrace of the Serpent is excellent. I thought the movie was much better than The Lost City of Z, another recent Amazonian adventure. The visuals are absolutely stunning. The original story is interestingly complex but easy to follow without too much effort. There are two timelines with echoes of the past. And it asks deeply intriguing questions about colonization, human nature and our relationship with nature. Long story short, I am awe struck by this cinematic experience.
