Mini-Review: An interesting subject, and a great film. That Juliane survived the plane crash was a miracle enough. That she survived 10 days of travel in a Peruvian jungle with a broken collar bone, swollen eyes, and a single shoe having essentially nothing to eat is amazing. Even more so that having done this she later had the strength to go on to a PhD in biology, and to survive going back to the crash site and digging around. It's also fascinating that Werner Herzog himself nearly boarded the same plane.

Mini-Review: The direction might be great, the filmmaking might be mesmerizing, the score might be beautiful, but none of that excuses the fact that this is essentially sexist, pornographic, male-dominance justifying crap.
