About this movie

Based on the international bestseller, The Lost City of Z tells the incredible true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett, who journeys into the Amazon at the dawn of the 20th century and discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilisation. Despite being ridiculed by the scientific establishment, the determined Fawcett — supported by his devoted wife, son and aide-de-camp — returns to his beloved jungle in an attempt to prove his case, culminating in his mysterious disappearance in 1925. An epic tale of courage and passion, The Lost City of Z is a stirring tribute to the exploratory spirit and a conflicted adventurer driven to the verge of obsession.

Well shot, convincing screenplay, oft marred by, at times, whispered dialog from the two main characters. C'mon please, actors, project, enunciate, otherwise no one can bloody hear you!

Beautifully filmed, but incredibly slow and ponderous - even the dialogue is spoken slowly. I'm going for a nap now...

This old school film making. It feels like a Richard Attenborough or David Lean movie.
