![]() ![]() During our interview he is called at least twice by a frantic publicist from Pluto Press (which has just published his account of his exploits in Iraq, Baghdad Bulletin), whom he talks to at length while I look gormless. For starters, Enders only works to his own rhythm. ![]() This surprisingly tiny man's laidback, almost bumbling delivery is at odds with everything he says and does. Many of his contemporaries share his sentiments, but not all of them took themselves off to Baghdad to start its first English-language weekly, in the process earning a reputation as an editor's nightmare.Įnders does not come across as an arrogant man, but he does some profoundly arrogant things, both in his professional and his daily life. A foreign correspondent who hates everything about the way in which war is reported a broadcaster who doesn't believe in rolling news and a media jobseeker who describes the industry as "the beast". ![]() David Enders is perhaps the least employable man in modern journalism. ![]()

There's three journeys depicted in the film, which are abruptly interrupted with scenes of British high class people mingling at parties, as well as very underdeveloped scenes of the main character's family. The biggest problem however, is that these moments do not come together to fill a cohesive narrative. ![]() You're mystified and filled with a feeling of exotic pleasure. The scene where the explorers stumble onto an opera theater in the middle of the jungle is a great example. The scenes in the jungle are beautifully shot and fill you with wonder and mystery which I expected coming into this movie. The Lost City of Z deserves a good rating for its cinematography and the fact that it has many spectacular individual moments.

Szczygiel, an admitted Czechophile, initially intended the book for his fellow Poles to better understand their Czech neighbors. “Gottland” was first published in Polish in 2006, with the English translation made available in 2014. Written by award winning Polish journalist, Mariusz Szczygiel, this book is very likely the most in depth and accessible volume on the subject available to the general interest reader. ![]() Happily, for non-Czechs and Czechs alike who would like a better grasp of the people and their ways, there is “Gottland”. ![]() In fact, I have met more Czechs than not that had trouble explaining such things adequately.
