it's a story for the ages

Rating: 9/10 (15 August 2017)

I had never heard the story of Percy Fawcett and his search for a lost city until now. "The Lost City of Z" is an impressive piece of work. It not only focuses on Fawcett's quest to find the presumed city, but also his British peers' disbelief of his claims (and the general British attitude towards non-white people), and briefly on World War I.
It's not a great movie, but it has some amazing shots of the Amazon rain forest. The cast does well enough in their roles. I particularly liked Robert Pattinson and Ian McDiarmid, both of them playing roles markedly different from their most famous ones.
Whether or not we eventually find out the full story of what happened, I still recommend this movie. It might make you feel like doing a little exploring.
