A woman loses her mind. A girl sings in a honky tonk. A Chinese man on opium dreams. Running after a child through the jungle. Lightning.\u00a0A marriage without love. A veil of sadness. Boundless joy. You will not have Nina. A young girl walks to the end of the night. Black sun.\u00a0A father cries out his love. An outcast. An empty rowboat wobbles in the storm. Humid palm trees glisten. A dead man. Mosquitoes. A telluric film.\u00a0A tragic story, like all Greek tragedies that never age. A tale as old as the world. A story as young as the world. Of love and folly. Of impossible dreams.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0DQD282ZQ\/ref=pv_ag_gcf?cmp=rt_where_to_watch&amp;tag=rottetomao-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH NOW<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ALMAYER&#8217;S FOLLY | 2012\u00a0 \u2013 127\u2032 \u2013 a Belgium\/France Co-Production.
