Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
In 1993, Sam Fuller takes Jim Jarmusch on a trip into Brazil's Mato Grosso, up the River Araguaia to the village of Santa Isabel Do Morro, where 40 years before, Zanuck had sent Fuller to scout a location and write a script for a movie based on a tigrero, a jaguar hunter. Sam hopes to find people who remember him, and he takes film he shot in 1954. He's Rip Van Winkle, and, indeed, a great deal changed in the village. There are televisions, watches, and brick houses. But, the same Karajá culture awaits as well. He gathers the villagers to show his old film footage, and people recognize friends and relatives, thanking Fuller for momentarily bringing them back to life.

| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIf you're fans of the colorful Fuller and the hipster Jarmusch, you'll probably like the pic. |
| User ReviewEmily MSamuel Fuller and Jim Jarmusch traveling in the jungle, need I say more. This is a great documentary. |
| User ReviewStella Dwhile more could have been done with this and some parts are a little hokey, it's still fun to watch the elderly fuller and quirky jarmusch on their journey through the amazon. 'tigrero' was an epic planned to be shot there in the 1950s, if only insurance costs for stars john wayne and ava gardner hadn't been prohibitive. fuller revisits a tribe he encountered while scouting locations |
| User ReviewIan RI don't think that there was enough here for a movie as long as it was, but the conversations between Fuller and Jarmusch were engaging and the stories flew by. Lots of padding though... |
| User ReviewChristopher SDespite a few forced moments and awkward attempts at humor, a fun documentary chronicling Sam Fuller's unique, bold brand of filmmaking. An interesting look into Fuller's creative process for fans of his work, though it may not be as effective for the uninitiated. |
| User ReviewDoug COnly for true fans of Jarmusch or Fuller. I liked it.. but I'm a nut. |
