A film by Ciro Guerra, 2015, Colombia/ Venezuela/Argentina, 125'
elabrazodelaserpiente
EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT tells the epic story of the first contact, encounter, approach, betrayal and, eventually, life-trascending friendship, between Karamakate, an amazonian shaman, last survivor of his people, and two scientists that, over the course of 40 years, travel through the Amazon in search of a sacred plant that can heal them. Inspired by the journals of the first explorers of the Colombian Amazon, Theodor Koch-Grunberg and Richard Evans Schultes.

​@Sapere Aude lol... you posted this insane rant here too? How many places did you post this?

My best film of 2015. Truly powerful. I believe the world would be a better place if people saw more films like that. THANK YOU.

+Ieva Gurinskaitė I have just seen it and can only agree with every single word. An incredible movie.

[@jacquikillick3162]

just about to watch it .... thanks for recommending xx

[@eveiraa]

Adrien d'Elzius I'm terribly sorry to reply so late. I saw it at the cinema in one of the film festivals in London before it was generally screened after the Academy nominations. Hope you managed to see it?

[@eveiraa]

Lucius In Fabula So happy you liked it. I fell in love with it forever (guess what I'm doing - my Santa is going to try and make the world a better place :) )

[@DB-LBC]

Truly one of the most profound films you will ever see.

[@sijayjames8228]

This is an incredible film done in a very authentic way. One of the most intriguing and realistic, important films of the last decade. A true achievement.

[@luciusinfabula9148]

Astonishing movie, don't miss it. I have just seen it and am still so mesmerised by it that I cannot find the right words to do it justice.

[@sampowrie6381]

This is one of the great movies. It stands up there with 'Les Enfants du Paradise', 'Napoleon' & the original Russian 'Solaris', the Russian 'War' etc...

[@barrygoldwater360]

I've seen this. Its a thinking man's film. Not your average fast paced blockbuster that comes out at your local cinema every week. No big explosions or hollywood cliche bullshit. No one liners, and no recognizable actors. This film is shot in black and white, and you will have to read everything. But for those with the patience and open mindedness, you will not be disappointed. According to Rotten Tomatoes, 99% of critics gave this movie a positive review. Its a bit long, but worth your time. Enjoy.

[@antsy_pants]

Agreed. And presented as it is from the point of view of Karamakate, it paints a much more raw and honest picture of the times, leaving the viewer to decide many things instead of just telling one what to think and how to feel. Saw it yesterday, still trying to absorb it.

[@DavidCurryFilms]

Unnerving and honest, had the fortune of seeing it on the big screen 6 years ago. To see the guide in youth and then old age is a mesmerising plot. The jungle still vivid in black and white - but somehow it distracts less from the stellar acting 👌. Fragility of both the explorer and the native. Watch it 😄

[@CamiloSanchez-yi4ee]

It may win an Oscar, hope it does, it's a great movie

[@theManishMuse]

This movie still stays with me.

[@JamesBarrett23]

This is an amazing film. Immediatly after watching it for the first time, I was not sure what it was about. But it stayed with me, and I was thinking about it for days. I still am and want to watch it again. It is a masterpiece.

[@christophercurzon4284]

2/18/2016 I just saw Embrace of the Serpent tonight at the Writer's Guild Association theatre in Beverly Hills on Doheny. It was outstanding. They said it is opening next week at the Nuart Theatre in Los Angeles.

[@suzana_grau]

9 years later and I still can't forget this movie! It is engraved in me ... will we learn how to dream again?

[@matt8147]

Such a visually stunning and powerful movie. Glad I saw the last showing at Santa Ana's Frida Cinema. My mind and soul are better after watching this movie.

[@zane770]

that scene where eduardo is wrecking the rubber plantation is burned into my skull. its utterly heartbreaking.

I'm going to have to check this out.
Is this set in modern day or when missionaries first moved into Central America?

[@grantandrews4826]

Please do. One of the best movies I've ever seen. The two timelines are set in 1909 and 1940.

Misty is a word Mistery isn't. Just a bad translation.

[@SandKat]

Play on words. Misery and Mystery combined. If you watched the movie, you would understand why 'misery' is in context

[@CareFullSoul11]

I have no doubt about the awesomeness of this film. However, I'd like to point out this statement in the description - "the first explorers of the Colombian Amazon, Theodor Koch-Grunberg and Richard Evans Schultes." I see the bias still crediting the white man as the "first" explorers, as if the native peoples have not been inhabiting that area for thousands of years before they came....

Mystery is spelt with a Y "Mistery" is not a word in the English language.
