The Galapagos Affair: Satan Came to Eden
Darwin meets Hitchcock in this murder-mystery documentary set in the brutal yet alluring landscape o
Description
Directed by Dayna Goldfine & Dan Geller (BALLETS RUSSES), THE GALAPAGOS AFFAIR: Satan Came to Eden features voice performances by Cate Blanchett, Diane Kruger, Connie Nielsen, Sebastian Koch, Thomas Kretschmann, Gustaf Skarsgård and Josh Radnor. The film skillfully interweaves an unsolved 1930s murder mystery with stories of present day Galapagos pioneers (a handful of Europeans, Americans and Ecuadoreans who settled idiosyncratically on the Islands between the 1930s and 1960s). As such, it is a parable about the search for paradise -- about what happens when a handful of individualists settle on the same small island seeking their own distinct and sometimes clashing notions of Eden.THE GALAPAGOS AFFAIR features newly-discovered vintage “home movie” footage of the protagonists in their Galapagos surroundings and other extraordinary archival material not seen in over 70 years. Stunning present-day HD footage evokes the unique atmosphere and natural beauty of the Galapagos Islands while portraying the inner lives of those who chose to make these Islands their home. By turns macabre, humorous, inspiring and profound, THE GALAPAGOS AFFAIR is a murder mystery but also an adventure story of the sort that make Robinson Crusoe and The Swiss Family Robinson so timeless.
