IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
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. Filmed in stunning black-and-white, SERPENT centers on Karamakate, an Amazonian shaman and the last survivor of his people, and the two scientists who, over the course of 40 years, build a friendship with him. The film was inspired by the real-life journals of two explorers (Theodor Koch-Grünberg and Richard Evans Schultes) who traveled through the Colombian Amazon during the last century in search of the sacred and difficult-to-find psychedelic Yakruna plant. 2016 Academy Award Nominee - Best Foreign Language Film In Theaters February 17, 2016 Written & Directed by Ciro Guerra Visit the official website: EMBRACEOFTHESERPENT.OSCILLOSCOPE.NET ****** From Oscilloscope Laboratories, distributors of the best in American independent, foreign, and documentary films.
