Aguirre, the Wrath of God – note: we own this film and it is worth pairing with Heart of Darkness.
Couple in the Cage, The – note: we own this film and it is very much worth considering, especially in discussions of the modern desire for the primitive and condescending (but often “scientific” or “liberal”) constructions of it.
