The Old Man Who Read Love Stories
2001, 111 minutes, Rated M
In the tiny village of El Idilio, deep in the Amazonian jungle, lives Antonio Bolivar (Richard Dreyfuss). A recluse, Antonio has discovered a passion for romantic tales which he shares with a local servant girl, Joselina (Cathy Tyson). The visiting Dentist (Hugo Weaving), a swaghering lothario with questionable medical skills, becomes Antonio's go-between.
But outsiders have intruded into this remote corner of the world, killing a jaguar's cubs. Now the enraged mother jaguar begins killing humans. Ed Idilio's mayor, (Timothy Spall) known as "the Slimy Toad", organizes a hunting party. Too old for this ludicrous expedition, Antonio knows that only he has the skills to carry out the mission. And so begins a trek, an adventure, a dangerous duel...
