Reviews
Creating this kind of otherworldly mood takes exceptional talent, and this is a film worth experiencing.Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle
A new trip down an ancient river, with shades of "Apocalypse Now" and "Aguirre: Wrath of God." Mesmerizing and occasionally mind-altering.Rafer Guzman, Newsday
