at the theater where I watched it: Director, producer, both the lead white actors and one of the indigenous actors (older Karamakate), the DP, and the sound engineer.
gave quality insight in the process, production, and inspiration behind the film.
still processing, but it's really fucn good, like excellent... for being so dialogue driven and then the mind bend of the ending is so official; it's an art.
what it says about illness, and colonialism, and greed, and the "human spirit", and the universe, and nature, and violence, and religion, and civilization is that goodness / realness
lil facts from the Q&A:
-all the indigenous actors, except the younger Karamakate, were regular folk who spent HOURS before each shoot, practicing with the acting coach
-the sound engineer used archived sounds, cpu generated sounds, sounds they recorded for a week after filming was done, and actual human heart beats and sounds from women's wombs to create sonics of the film
-the whole film was shot in 6 weeks
-Theo (the older white colonist from the 1907 period) had never worked in film, only had worked in theater for over 20 years
-the film was shot in 35mm fuji film, which means it will be one of the last of it's kind, because the film is literally not made anymore. Also the movie is in black and white because Ciro Guerra (the director) wanted people to experience the movie the way he experienced the travel journals and pictures that went into the research of the film...
ok. that's it
go watch it y'all
