Review of Big River Man (2009) by Kathryn R — 10 Jul 2012
This documentary can been in a similar vain to 'Hearts of Darkness' the documentary which supported the film ?Apocalypse Now? which depicted man against the elements of the rain forest whist shooting a hollywood movie. ?Big River Man? shows man against the Amazon River.
A lot is lost with the narration of the son of the swimmer rather than the emotions of Strel being exploited.
Still entertaining, although inexperience can been seen in the making of the documentary with a theatrical approach over the more interesting doc approach, this can been seen in an bombardment musical score, and dramatically staged scenes which are not needed.
