Embrace of the Serpent is a film that does not serve up neat answers to an unfolding mystery, but inspires the participation of the viewer in navigating the twists and turns of two river journeys across time and down that great serpent mother, the Amazon River. | Rating: 4/5 Embrace of the Serpent (Spanish: El abrazo de la serpiente) is a 2015 Colombian internationally co-produced adventure drama film directed by Ciro Guerra, and written by Guerra and Jacques Toulemonde Vidal. Home. [13] On Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating, the film has a score of 82 out of 100 based on 31 critics, indicating "universal acclaim". Shot almost entirely in black and white, the film follows two journeys made thirty years apart by the indigenous shaman Karamakate in the Colombian Amazonian jungle, one with Theo, a German ethnographer, and the other with Evan, an American botanist, both of whom are searching for the rare plant yakruna. [citation needed] The indigenous peoples are shown to have suffered at the hands of colonizers, and Colombian film critic and author Pedro Adrián Zuluaga states that Guerra highlights this by "shooting peripheric geographies... and bringing to the centre of the narrative an unavoidable contradiction between progress and tradition". Therefore, by pairing him with Brionne Davis, it highlighted the parallels between the two characters. A film that shoots for the moon and lands with ease, grace and nuance; a landing so perfect it infuses the viewer with a love of cinema and its possibilities. In 1909, Karamakate, a reclusive shaman in the Amazon, is sought out by sick German scientist Theodor Koch-Grünberg, seeking a cure for his condition. Just confirm how you got your ticket. Excellent film. Coming Soon. At once blistering and poetic, the ravages of colonialism cast a dark shadow over the South American landscape in EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT, the third feature by Ciro Guerra.

[Full review in Spanish]. Filmed over seven weeks in the jungles of Vaupés “Embrace of the Serpent” is the first dramatic film to be shot in the Colombian Amazon in over 30 years. About the parallel narrative he wrote it "delivers a fairly comprehensive critique of the destruction of indigenous cultures at the hands of white invaders". Many years later an American botanist, Evan, paddles up to a much older Karamakate who has apparently forgotten the customs of his own people. What he encounters, however, is a white man – an ethnographer – and his indigenous companion. It's ballistic, balletic, sometimes brilliant. [11] Location details include: The soundtrack album of the movie was released by Plaza Major Company on 22 January 2016 and contains nine songs composed by Nascuy Linares. Seven weeks were spent filming in the Department of Vaupés, and one week in the Department of Guainía.
