08/18/2013 I don't think that there was enough here for a movie as long as it was, but the conversations between Fuller and Jarmusch were engaging and the stories flew by. Lots of padding though... See more 05/02/2013 while more could have been done with this and some parts are a little hokey, it's still fun to watch the elderly fuller and quirky jarmusch on their journey through the amazon. 'tigrero' was an epic planned to be shot there in the 1950s, if only insurance costs for stars john wayne and ava gardner hadn't been prohibitive. fuller revisits a tribe he encountered while scouting locations See more 09/11/2011 Despite a few forced moments and awkward attempts at humor, a fun documentary chronicling Sam Fuller's unique, bold brand of filmmaking. An interesting look into Fuller's creative process for fans of his work, though it may not be as effective for the uninitiated. See more 06/08/2011 Only for true fans of Jarmusch or Fuller. I liked it.. but I'm a nut. See more 02/17/2009 Samuel Fuller and Jim Jarmusch traveling in the jungle, need I say more. This is a great documentary. See more 10/28/2007 Jim Jarmusch and Sam Fuller are the parfect team in this "epic to be" documentary. See more Read all reviews
