riz ortolani writing one of the prettiest scores of all time and then deodato dropping it over the ugliest footage you'll ever sit through is genuinely deranged, like being sung a lullaby while someone shows you their worst home videos. every found footage kid arguing about who invented the genre needs to shut up and sit with this one, deodato had the whole language figured out twenty years before anyone. the framing device is actually smart, the tribes feel real because they ARE real people, and there's a genuine thesis buried in here about who the actual savages are. but i can't fully get there because a chunk of what's onscreen is real and not staged and i physically could not watch parts of it, and no amount of "it's commentary" fixes that for me. respect the craft, respect the score, never watching it again.
