The Lost City of Z (2016)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col/2.35:1 141m
Director: James Gray
Cast: Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson, Sienna Miller, Angus Macfadyen

Synopsis:

From 1906 to the 1920s, an Army major becomes obsessed with uncovering a lost city in the Amazon, after performing mapping work for the Royal Geographical Society.

Review:

A finely wrought film, with some nicely detailed familial asides amid all the derring-do, it fails nevertheless to make for a satisfying whole, and its laudable adherence to documented events makes for an unwieldy structure. The Amazonian sequences capture almost as well as Herzog the sense of imperilment and mystery, but it is a pity the film-makers rely on the classics for musical support.
