El abrazo de la serpiente (2015)
The story of the relationship between Karamakate, an Amazonian shaman and last survivor of his people, and two scientists who work together over the course of forty years to search the Amazon for a sacred healing plant.
Intense and visually mesmerizing historic drama, which is an adventure as well as a sharp analysis of colonialism.

Children of the Corn (2009)
While traveling, an unhappy married couple encounter a cult of murderous children who worship an entity called He Who Walks Behind the Rows.
A half-hearted Stephen King adaptation neither thrills nor shocks; the greatest horror is the bickering couple during the first half of the movie.

Karl Marx: Der deutsche Prophet (2018)
Karl Marx was a politically driven man who wanted to change society, but was also thrown back by illness, expulsion and the loss of four of his six children
Nicely made TV docudrama takes more focus on Karl Marx' private life than on his ideas; Mario Adorf does a good job in the title role.
