Embrace of the Serpent – Lose Yourself in the Amazon

Embrace of the Serpent

Embrace of the Serpent Film Difficulty Ranking: 4

Wow. Possibly the best film I have seen this year so far, Embrace of the Serpent is many things at once. It is a beautifully shot film set deep in the Amazon jungle that delves into many themes, including Life and Death, Culture, Civilization, Religion, and Exploration. This is a must see.
