The Emerald Forest (1985 John Boorman & prod)

Scr Rospo Pallenberg

Powers Boothe (unfortunately not the best actor), Charley Boorman, Dira Paes, Ruy Polanah (who as the the chief has most of the best lines)

We think the Invisible and Fierce People were actors.

Great scene where he finds son (not improbable).

Has slight Boorman mythic feel (animal spirits) and plenty of strong messages (I love the way the girls take their clothes off to feel normal again).

Film often travels at 90 bums per minute.

We stupidly watched a BBC cropped print of Philippe Rousselot's widescreen photography.
