Barry & Harold Hill say GO!
Netflix has been taunting me with this for weeks, but it was the recommendation of Harold Hill which caused me to click view.
It stumbles a bit out of the block but quickly takes off...
The mise-en-scene is right out of 1982's FIRST BLOOD and the twists and turns did not disappoint until,
the denouement which falls somewhere between Prometheus and a cautionary tale of Obamacare.
All in, the 2nd Act is worth the click - DirectorJulian JarroldStarsSienna MillerToby JonesImelda StauntonThe turbulent relationship between filmmaker Sir Alfred Hitchcock (Toby Jones) and actress Tippi Hedren (Sienna Miller).Listen or call the show live Tuesdays 8PM PDT or podcast at

As I continue to slog through Robert Ebert's 10 Greatest Films of All Time (Sight&Sound 2002 List), listen to the Podcast:
http://www.talkradioone.com/next-film-fustians-live-tuesday-8pm-pdt11pm-edt-9/
Intrigued there are films I have not seen on Roger Ebert’s refreshed list of the 10 Greatest Films of All Time; I was interested to see Herzog’s “Masterpiece”.
The film chronicles the physical and mental deterioration of a unit from Pizarro’s conquistadores, tasked to crawl down from the Andes and follow the Amazon River in search of the gold laden City of El Dorado. As hurdles mount, the second in command, Aguirre stages a coup and leads the rouge men to pursue the treasure.
Thinking it all too familiar, I had difficulty separating Captain Willard’s journey up the Nung River in search of the legendary Cornel Kurtz. A quick look on the inter-webs revealed Francis Ford Coppola acknowledges the influence. Interesting that both films appear on Ebert’s list, perhaps he harbors a hidden Mark Twain fetish.
The effects are dated, the mise-en-scene clearly suffers from budgetary constraints and the study of god, gold and natives was unsatisfying. However, Herzog and Kinski effectively communicate the oppression and desperation of men’s souls on this doomed raft. Specifically, there is a scene where the hastily selected emperor rashly dispatches the lone horse from the raft. From the safely of shore, the horse watches a little more life drains from the men’s faces.
Full discourse, I viewed an English language dubbed version of this film, risking the voice-over actors changing or influencing the original material. However, this film relies significantly more on mood than dialog and I estimate would have been more adversely affected by sub-titles crowding the screen.
