Hollywood was going green in a big way in the early Nineties, but this contribution to the cycle is about as weird and studied as you might expect from director Babenco who made Kiss of the Spider Woman. A visually stunning drama about the fate of a tribe of Amozonian Indians, Babenco's film follows their destruction through the well-meaning but deadly interference of a group of American missionaries and a half-Cheyenne Indian (Berenger, down in the jungle yet again) who decides to go native and live in their community. A thoughtful, but massively overlong epic which does pick up considerably towards the end to help drive its message home.
