The Emerald Forest (1985)
Country: GB
Technical: col/scope 113m
Director: John Boorman
Cast: Powers Boothe, Charley Boorman, Meg Foster
Synopsis:
The son of a construction worker in the Amazon is kidnapped by Indians and brought up as one of them. But the father searches until he finds him and gains an insight into the environment he has helped to destroy.
Review:
An interesting and beautiful first half, in which the director indulges his fascination with primitivism, magic and Man in the natural world, gives way to a cowboys and indians rescue and explosive resolution. To its credit, however, it never completely loses sight of its ecological concerns and succeeds in making them palatable to a wide audience.
