Annoying soundtrack, too many people running around and yelling all the time.

It will be one of the weirder films you will ever see, if you happen to see it. Although I have to admit it was entertaining with both a highly original plot and darkly humorous undertones. Never would I have thought a case of mistaken identity within a tribe that results in cannibalism would have been funny, but I stand corrected. It really is worth a watch, just don't expect to talk with any of your friends about it because they probably haven't heard of it.

A neat premise that is similar to many of those found in Herzog's films. The story is simple but engaging, and the locations and photography make for interesting visuals (I have to wonder, though, about who these constantly nude actors and extras were). I suppose my biggest problem is that none of the characters or actors was particularly captivating - all of Herzog's great films had a Kinski (or to a lesser extent a Bruno S) that constantly held my attention.
