With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of people who'll be looking things up afterwards and book lovers. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. Same wavelength as The Mission or Mutiny on the Bounty. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 1 hr 17 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
The octogenarian Angono Mba recalls the expedition in which he worked as porter for the Spanish filmmaker Manuel Hernández Sanjuán who, between 1944 and 1946, traveled through Spanish Guinea documenting life in the colony as he obsessively searched for a mysterious lake.
