Exclusive Preview Screening at Palace Electric Cinema
LHS Ciro Guerra’s Oscar-nominated, multi award-winning EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT is a breathtaking cinematic odyssey through the Amazon, following the quests of two European explorers (one in 1909 and the other in the 1940s) in search of a rare flower alleged to have healing properties.
NGA PREVIEW SCREENING DETAILS:EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT 6.15pm arrival for 6.30pm start
Seating is limited, so please register for tickets only if you can and will definitely attend .
Inspired by the real-life journals kept by Theodor Koch-Grunberg and Richard Evans Schultes, EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT recalls such visionary films as Jim Jarmusch’s Dead Man and Werner Herzog’s Aguirre, the Wrath of God , gripping with suspense and revelation as it mediates on both the beauty of nature and the devastating impact of colonial interference on native culture. The spectacular widescreen black and white cinematography and evocative sound design combine to depict the landscapes and characters with an hypnotic, mythical sense of wonder.
At once blistering and poetic, this truly a one-of-a-kind accomplishment exerts a power described by several critics as ‘Kubrickian’. It demands to be experienced on the big-screen.
"Majestic. Spellbinding… Beautiful isn’t strong enough a word."
The Australian Premiere season of EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT (M) commences Thursday 28 July, 2016. For venues, session times and further information visit www.embraceoftheserpent.com.au
