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. A visually mesmerizing exploration of man, nature and the destructive powers of colonialism.

Everything you want in a film noir you’ll find in OUT OF THE PAST. A tenacious detective (Robert Mitchum) spinning his wheels to make good. A drop-dead beauty (Jane Greer) up to no good, and moneyed mobster (Kirk Douglas) with a shark’s grin, plus double-crosses, fall guys, shadowy rooms and bleak souls. Mitchum solidified his tough-guy persona in this archetypal film noir directed with memorable style by Jacques Tourneur (Cat People). He plays Jeff Bailey, a one-time private investigator walking the straight and narrow of small-town life….until an acquaintance from his past pulls him back into the troubles he’d left behind. “Build my gallows high, baby,” Bailey sneers as events stack up against him. OUT OF THE PAST is so perfect a film noir that it is considered a blueprint for the genre.
