Emerald Forest, The (1985, GBR) C-110m. SCOPE *** D: John Boorman. Starring Powers Boothe, Meg Foster, Yara Vaneau, William Rodriguez, Estee Chandler, Charley Boorman. On the edge of the rainforest, an uncharted region of the world, dam constructor Boothe loses his son, when he is kidnapped by a native tribe. After 10 years if searching, he may just find him among tribe of so-called invisible people, a tribe which has no contact to the outside world. Impressive adventure drama is similar in theme to director Boorman's masterpiece DELIVERANCE (1972) but its plot contrivances often undermine its message. Still, well worth watching, not just for fans of the director.
