Closing this year’s festival is one of the major discoveries of the 2015 CannesInternational Film Festival . Ciro Guerra’s multi award-winning lm is abreathtaking cinematic odyssey through the Amazon, following the quests of twoEuropean explorers in search of a rare ower alleged to have healing propert ies.

Inspired by the real-life journals kept by Theodor Koch-Grunberg (portrayed byJan Bijvoet) and Richard Evans Schultes (Brionne Davis), the lm charts eachman’s treacherous and life-changing journey. Though decades apart , both areguided through the labyrinthine rivers and jungles by the same native shaman,Karamakate (Nilbio Torres, and later Antonio Bolivar Salvado Yangiama), the lastsurviving member of his tribe, who takes them deeper and deeper into a heartof darkness. The spectacular widescreen black and white cinematography andevocative sound design combine to depict the landscapes and characters with an

hypnotic, mythical sense of wonder. This is an extraordinary lm.WINNER 2015 Cannes International Film Festival Directors' Fortnight:CICAE Art Cinema AwardNOMINEE 2016 ACADEMY AWARDS - Best Foreign Language FilmWINNER 2015 Sundance International Film Festival: Alfred P. Sloan Prize

When Rocío’s gascanister runs out or when her water is turned o, she is faced with an impossibledecision: if she replaces them, there is no money to feed her son.There is an understated naturalism to the performances in this perfect storm ofmisfortune, reected by documentary-style photography.
