The Lost City Of Z (2016)

The real story of Percival Fawcett, a passionate explorer who disappeared in the 1920s looking for a mysterious Amazonian village.

A very beautiful film, about dreams and ambitions and the obstacles and real sacrifices met for their fulfilment. On the one hand we see Percival and his team and on the other hand we see his wife with similar dreams but with social obstacles much more impossible to overcome. With an expected ending, the audience may wonder what would be the point to pay so much attention to the story of a failure, but it is important to remember that without these people we would not have the successes that have crept through the cracks.

Directed/Written by: James Gray
With: Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson, Sienna Miller, Tom Holland, Angus Macfadyen, Edward Ashley

Rating: 8/10
