Description
movie: Embrace Of The Serpent (Colombia/Ciro Guerra/2015)
This is a short essay: identify two important shots or scenes that “carry the burden of meaning” and explain in detail how they convey ideas, feelings, perspectives on things. Be shot-conscious, specific!
You may describe the narrative structure and dwell into elements of film style as long as you
show how they serve to create a point of view on historical events and figures.
You may also discuss how the film fits into a genre (historical, biopic, contemporary drama, etc.) or explain what gives it worth or value (evaluation).
