Embrace Of The Serpent - Sunday 4th December 5pm

This week's film promises to be very beautiful. A contender for this year's Best Foreign Film at the Oscars, Embrace of the Serpent takes us on two journeys, 30 years apart, into the heart of the Amazon, following the trails of two explorers who both meet the same shaman. The critics vie for the most enthusiastic descriptions: "breathtakingly gorgeous" – Kevin Maher, Times,  "visionary and wildly ambitious" – Geoffrey Macnab, Independent, "what a gripping an absorbing piece of work" – Peter Bradshaw, Guardian, etc etc. It is hard to find any bad words about this film (It scores 98% on Rotten Tomatoes); let’s hope we love it too!
