Great Inside Adventure

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2017)

The latest movie from the great director James Gray. This time with his most ambitious film to date, in terms of production. Based on real facts, and at the same time adaptation of the novel of David Grann, tells the story of the British explorer Percy Fawcett, who at the beginning of the 20th Century participated in several expeditions to the Amazonas. I have read several reviews from the critics and the public, and there is a differentiating trend, the critics praises it and the public hates it. Something common in the movies of James Gray too, but reading the synopsis several expected a great adventure film with lots of action, and clearly were disappointed. In cases like these the role of criticism is appreciated, because the film is a delight. I felt it as a great adventure, but clearly Gray puts his stamp, is a specialist in taking apparently traditional arguments, and delve into them in unusual ways, achieving great results author. The Lost City of Z is not just an adventurous journey, it is the portrait of an obsession, and a passion, and how it leads us to drag everything in our path, even our dearest ones. I found it great, excellently done, with its usual elegance and classicism; It is also beautiful and terribly devastating. It lasts more than two hours but never goes down, and I personally kept myself in suspense and suffering in many moments. Of adventure and its dangers, betrayal, friendship, war, family, and the cruel uneasiness of life, tinged with vile hope. It's James Gray, one of the great live filmmakers.
