Since 2009, James Gray has been planning an adaptation of the recently released David Grann novel “The Lost City of Z” in the United States.
The director especially wants to convey on the screen the thirst for discovery of one of the greatest explorers of the 20th century, Percy Fawcett. However, the project was postponed until 2016.
Leaving the urban jungle of New York for the Amazon for the first time, James Gray signs a wonderful adventure story infused with his favorite themes.
Filmed in a natural setting, sublimated by the sumptuous photography of Darius Khonji, this obsessive quest that inspired both Kipling and Coppola has an undeniably epic and poetic breath.
A solid cast shines here, consisting of Charlene Hunnam in the foreground, as well as Sienna Miller, Tom Holland and an unknown Robert Pattinson.
