While difficult to identify a single factor that renders the film such a remarkable achievement, at the top of any list would certainly be the central performances by Nilbio Torres and Antonio Bolíva.

Embrace of the Serpent is a mystical movie missile from Colombia. It's ballistic, balletic, sometimes brilliant.

Shot in luminous black-and-white in the Colombian Amazon, Embrace of the Serpent looks like a series of animated photographs torn from the colonial explorers' journals that inspired it.

Audience Reviews for Embrace Of The Serpent (El Abrazo De La Serpiente)

Jan 10, 2017"Embrace of the Serpent" is an amazing exercise in psychedelia. It concerns two generations of German scientists who traverse the Amazonian wilderness with the same medicine man. I can't fully say I've seen the film (twice) though because I can't find decent enough subtitles for it. The files that I have found for it are extremely poorly translated, and I don't think I can rightly surmise the profundity of it without seeing an officially sanctioned DVD or Blu-ray copy. Anyway, it is beautifully shot in black and white, then for the psychedelic climax it switches to color. It is on the level with Jodorowsky's "The Holy Mountain" once it reaches that point. It is an absolutely beautiful and visceral experience, and you should watch it in the highest definition you possibly can.K Nife C Super Reviewer
