French Guyana, not so long ago. Eliott, a young and naive anthropology researcher, goes on an expedition to study the Otopis, a mysterious tribe from the Amazon rainforest. It is also an opportunity for him to get away from the grip of his possessive mother, Chantal de Bellabre, an ethnologist hated by the profession for her biased and cold-hearted practices. Arriving in the forest Elliot realizes the Otopis are not the “good savages” he had imagined. Alcoholic, violent, crooked: they will turn his expedition into real hell in the jungle. Fortunately, Chantal, consumed by remorse and worried about her son, decides to abandon her own expedition and goes looking for him in the jungle, with the help of the not so helpful Lieutenant-Commander Raspailles and his men.

Terrible film. Why did Deneuve agreed to do that movie is beyond me. Dedienne and Cohen are usually very funny actors, but here, nothing. You get 3 A-list actors, 2 of the best French humorists, and you barely laugh. Something must have gone wrong.

The French know two types of comedy: slapstick and tongue in cheek, and slapstick is the default setting. Imagine my relief, then, when I saw they'd actually tried to make an effort and be funny. And they succeed much of the time. While the story (a mother anthropologist tracks down her son anthropologist in the jungle) doesn't lend itself to comedy, the actors are able to add some punch to the script. Terrible Jungle isn't the comedy of the year, but at least it's the comedy of the week.
