Janet McTeer is superb in this haunting tale of murder and madness set in the 1920s. She plays an idealistic British woman who travels to the Malayan jungle with her young lover to seek a fortune in the ivory trade, but finds only hardship and misery. Olympia Dukakis, Brenda Fricker, Tony Maudsley, J.J. Field. Kristian Levring directed and cowrote the script with McTeer.
