A really good movie. Maybe a little heavy-handed with the eco-message, and perhaps simplistic in portraying the Indians as unblemished children of nature, but most entertaining and beautiful to watch.

I haven't seen this in years but remember it as one of the very best films of the 1980s, powerful, haunting and beautiful. Certain images have stuck with me in the long years since I last watched it -- this one is long overdue another viewing.
