The Jungle Obsession That Devours Everything

We are from the parts of Apocalypse Now of Coppola or Aguirre, Herzog goddess. That is: the jungle is a heart of Darkness and the hero of the turn is prey to an obsession that it places it in the dimension of myth and at the same time it damns. Only this time behind the camera is James Gray, More controlled director, less extreme than a Coppola or Herzog. The result is a classic film, in which, drawing from David Grann’s book Looking for Z The Lost City (Corbaccio), Gray tells us the true story of the English explorer Percy Fawcett who, sent by the Crown to trace the borders between Brazil and Bolivia, thought he had found the remains of a lost civilization, much older than the European white one. To accompany him between malaria fevers, ambushes, indios traitors and fatigues, a small one Group of guides and carriers. Twice Percy came back in Amazonia, sacrificing to her obsession wife, children and all that Which had then disappeared swallowed from nothing. Presented at the festival Of Berlin with success, the film tackles intelligently a very present theme: the white man’s racism that has always been to consider other inferior civilizations. “All they deserve to have dignity, whether it be Indigenous or women, “said the director.

“My Eyelids Have Bled”

Robert Pattinson doesn’t always have it easy: the stress is on him! In Cannes, he presented the drama Good Time and he told us, he knows how to deal with his anxiety.

ROBERT PATTINSON: Tough! The two have been arguing all the time. (Laughs) It was quite hectic. If two people are consistently talking at the same time, it is sometimes quite perplexing.

Your roles are becoming more and more unusual – what are you looking for?

I do not know, I just see that I find something that is not so predictable. I like to be a screenwriter, with whom I do not yet know on page 5 how the story goes. And I can’t remember the last time I watched a mainstream movie and I thought “Wow !!” Although I really like to watch superhero movies.

Did you want to participate in such a game?
