 "Tropical Malady" is a fascinating, absorbing film that is both tender and frightening. I got greater pleasure from a second viewing, since some of the action is subtle and in the background. It is a film that I will watch several times with the expectation that I will see something new each time. At first "Tropcal Malady" seemed like two separate disconnected parts: but slowly the relevance of part two to to the first part became ever clearer as the action in the depths of the dim, dark jungle reveals its relevance to the whole. A fine film that requires an active brain to see, really see all the beauty and love. Excellent photography and a very well told tale. Highly recommended. |
