It was like watching grass grow. About 40 years ago we saw "Last Year at Marienbad", an art film, and this was very reminiscent of that, lots of walking, and mooning looks, and little else. It would have been better to have focused on the two cultures and their cooperation, and clashes. I recommend viewers read. Guns, Germs and Steel, for a look at how the native populous were overcome by the Europeans.While the main female character was interesting, and the relationship seemed interesting with both men, we did not have the opportunity to get to know them, or the people and the undercurrents behind the actions of the various peoples. Christopher Plummer could have stayed home with so little to do.
