I really tried, mainly because Paul Hamy is gorgeous. After 20 minutes I threw the towel in. It is slow and too weird for me.

There is an unnatural strangeness under all the scenes. It seems designed to puzzle the viewer.

This film made me rethink my career choices. Otherwise, an interesting take between religion and surrealism with somewhat queer insight that seems unattached.

A strange film about a guy in a jungle (an ornithologist) who gets tied down by some Asian women, then escapes and meets some deaf dumb local stud and they proceed to some really, really explicit nude gay rolling around, which is by far the most interesting aspect of this movie. If you're interested in that definitely worth watching, otherwise what on earth is this? This isn't really a spoiler since I didn't catch any type of plot to spoil. Apparently the producers were not that interested in the bird watching aspect since I was hoping for some more impressive Brazilian jungle birds, given the movie's title.

I love slow-burn films. Full of beautiful cinematography, an atmospheric soundtrack, and a contemplative story. This movie has all that. And it started beautifully. But as it went on, I kind of lost interest. The story just wasn't developed enough in my opinion. I wasn't sucked into the atmosphere as I thought I was going to be at first. I ended up not being able to finish it. I know, I hate to not finish movies, but such was my disappointment with this one, that I didn't bother seeing the last 10 minutes or so.

Some fella is drifting in the wild on the lookout for birds. He gets hurt but luckily he's rescued by some Chinese tourists. They drug him, bound him up in ropes and keeps him as a prisoner. Well, he escapes but there's plenty of more weird stuff that awaits him. Weird and original flick that's has some substance but still seem very open and has that meditative feel. I could analyze it to bits, but I just went with it, not taking it too seriously and not hoping for too much sense or answers. For me that's the only way to see this film. It's not a masterpiece, far from it. It looks great with it's nature shots and it has some pretty sweet scenes, often accompanied with some sweet experimental music. It also has more boring moments making it easy to slip away from it. Cool acting and some freaky moments. Like the topless ladies on horses blowing horns and the fella drinking milk straight from the goat. I found it more interesting than solid, more free than freaky, but still something fresh and unique. 6 out of 10 storks.

Bizarre film that has its main character experiencing events similar to those experienced by Saint Anthony in the 13th century.

Strange for the sake of being strange. But ultimately unrewarding.

È un film di merda.Non ha un senso logico. Meglio un calcio nelle palle

Art house. No es el tipo de pelicula que le agrade a todo el mundo.

Being a film buff I have reserves of patience but was ready to walk out of this film about 40 minutes before it ended. It starts out well with hints of catholic symbolism that are suggestive and often quite beautiful, then the symbolism becomes preposterously literal. Once the naked women arrive in the forest on horseback, blowing into a bugle you should feel free to walk out if you have been contemplating it at all. I didn't, and what followed was so preposterous and so stupid I walked out angry and feeling cheated. The lead character is possibly St Anthony, and lo and behold, he is! The End.

This is apparently one of those movies where critics HAVE to love it. Admittedly l have zero skills discerning symbolism in films. But after seeing the film my honest reaction was WTF? Yes, Paul Hamm is gorgeous to look at, but what was up with (a) those Chinese chicks, (b) killing the dude he just boned, (c) topless latin-speaking huntresses? Obviously I didn't get it. Oh, and he wasn't very adept at bird watching?

6.5/10, my review: https://boxd.it/gFznl
