MOVIE REVIEW
The Green Inferno (2014)
Eli Roth’s latest think piece on international relations is a gleefully nasty culture clash between youthful Western arrogance and a simple tribal lifestyle, somewhere down a crazy river. In “The Green Inferno” a group of handsome white-bread students — naive dim bulbs to a man and led by an out-and-out creep — set about protesting against rain-forest deforestation in the Amazon, and end up on the receiving end of a cannibal holocaust. At first it’s all high-fives and banter and chaining themselves to bulldozers; but then later there’s running and screaming and explosive diarrhea.
