I saw the movie Embrace of the Serpent yesterday. I didn't really know what it was about. I'd won tickets to see it. Something about some explorers in the jungle, I'd gathered.

Now I've seen it, I can describe it in my own words. It's a crazy-ass movie. Something like the weirdest parts of Apocalypse Now and 2001: a Space Odyssey, with moments of slight gore, combined with that saying about 'the last blade of grass' you get on those posters you can buy at Caribbean Gardens Market. A bit of Wizard of Oz too, now that I think about it.

I liked it. It's one of those movies where you feel like you've lived and died an entire life in a foreign body by the time you leave the cinema. And I also ate a very delicious choc-top. It had macadamias in it.
