It’s an excellent ‘thinking man’s safari picture’: Bob Rafelson’s beautifully produced epic examines the partnership of two of the 19th century’s greatest explorers. They jointly found the source of the Nile, but after their amazing adventure, London politics and malicious interference broke them up. Patrick Bergin and Iain Glen are the intrepid explorers, Richard E. Grant a duplicious publisher, and Fiona Shaw gives the most appealing portrait of a vibrant Englishwoman ever. It’s certainly the best safari movie we’ve seen, realistic and harrowing. And it comes from the producer of Easy Rider. On Blu-ray from KL Studio Classics.
