Yes, I watched Embrace of the Serpent recently. Really great movie about two separate explorers in the Amazon jungle in the beginning of the 20th century. Mainly about the difference between the materialistic west and the simple tribals. Really good.
I also pulled my shit together and watched Bresson's Diary of a Country Priest. Amazing. Very similar to (and a big influence on) Bergman's Winter Light.
And i rewatched Barry Lyndon (hence the avatar). Masterpiece!
I saw that. Ingenius! I noticed the opening sequence style when I was watching the movie but couldn't place where I had seen it before. I realized after watching this that it's from Honest Trailers.
And it had all the signs of a "newly discovered Latin American director" who gets lured into some bloated Hollywood billion-dollar production. And sure enough ... The Six Billion Dollar Man with Mark Wahlberg:
"The film will star Scorsese’s longtime collaborator Robert De Niro and most likely Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and Harvey Keitel. The Irishman was adapted for the screen by one of the best screenwriters working today — Steve Zaillian — from the Charles Brandt book I Heard You Paint Houses which is the deathbed story from mob hitman Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran about the disappearance and death of the former Union boss Jimmy Hoffa. Zaillian previously scripted Scorsese’s Gangs of New York and his credits range from Schindler’s List to Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. He’s been nominated for four Oscars (including Gangs) and won for Schindler’s List."

As long as they just steal the director, not the movie, like they did with El secreto de sus ojos, and turned it to english with hollywood actors, and the many movies before this one.
