About this movie

EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT is a breathtaking cinematic odyssey through the Amazon, following the quests of two European explorers across two different time periods in search of a rare flower with healing properties. Based on journals kept by the actual explorers, each man's treacherous and life-changing journey - though decades apart - is shaped by the same Native American guide, Karamakate, the last surviving member of his tribe. 2015 Ciudad Lunar Producciones, Nortesur Producciones, MC Producciones, Buffalo Films

Good story, sharp black and white photography, excellent acting. A bit preachy at times, and the drug scene is a bit corny, but it borrows from the best (Herzog) and so is a good adventure.
