La Folie Almayer
Belgium/France
2011 Drama
2h 7min
Original language: French, English
Joseph Conrad's novel about a Dutch merchant's descent into madness in the Malaysian jungle becomes a richly sensorial, feverishly inspired excursion into the heart of darkness. Hypnotic long-takes and visceral sound design lends Almayer's Folly a menacingly oppressive mood of tropical torpor in a colonialist hell.
