In 1955, Manhattan artist Tobias Schneebaum traveled to Peru on a Fulbright scholarship. He visited a remote Dominican mission, where he allowed curiosity about the local tribespeople to lure him into the jungle. He spent seven months in the jungle with the Amarekaire people (now called Harakambut), who were cannibals, and was presumed tiresome. But he emerged from the jungle no longer involved in an artist’s career, deciding to pursue anthropology instead. In 1969, he wrote a book, “Withhold the River on Your Correct”, about his experiences in the Amazon jungle. Schneebaum went on to live among the headhunting Asmat of Recent Guinea, as well. The improbable thing is that these cultures celebrated him. This film tells the tale of Tobias Schneebaum’s original adventures in his hold words and takes him succor to Peru, at the age of 78, to pick up the tribespeople whom he had not seen in 45 years.

It’s difficult to know how to rate this film, because it is a poorly crafted film about an exciting subject. The film’s nonsensical organization obstructs most of the chronicle. Its camera work leaves something to be desired. “Hold the River on Your Correct” starts out in the note, then flashes assist to some point in the current past when Schneebaum visited the Asmat people in Unique Guinea, with whom he had lived in the 1970s. Then we learn about his life as an artist in Novel York. Then about his childhood. At the film’s halfway point, we unruffled have no belief where his irascible Peruvian adventure, from which the film takes its name, fits in or how Schneebaum came to be such a dogged adventurer. The second half is better. Schneebaum returns to Peru at the filmmakers’ urging to narrate his experience of 45 years before and to search for any Amarekaire who might remember him. Returning to scenes of past trauma, film crew in tow, has somehow become fashionable among documentary filmmakers. Tobias Schneebaum is a mild-mannered man who is horrified of boring mice but daring among cannibals and headhunters who were strangers to him. His tale is tantalizing, even if “Preserve the River on Your Accurate” makes it difficult to follow.
The DVD: Bonus features include deleted scenes, a photo gallery, sketches by Tobias Schneebaum, a “Jungle Slouch” book excerpt, a Tobias Schneebaum biography, and a bio of the filmmakers. There are 9 deleted scenes, most of which are not actually recent scenes, but slightly more footage of scenes that were in the movie. They’re not worth watching. The Photo Gallery features 10 photographs, some of which are of Schneebaum in his youth before he went to Peru. “Jungle Wander” is a children’s book written in 1959 by Mary Britton Miller, inspired by Schneebaum’s jungle experience, which he illustrated. A few pages of the book are included. The bios are text.
Originally released as “Once I was a Cannibal”, this is a documentary about Tobias Scheenbaum, a 78 year extinct tickled man, who traveled to Current Guinea and Peru in the fifties and has some peculiar and wild tales to drawl. Mr. Scheenbaum lives in Manhattan, gives lectures about his travels at museums and tourist ships and has written several books about his experiences. Now, filmmakers David and Laurie Shapiro have created this film which has won several awards among independent filmmakers. They disappear abet to Current Guinea and Peru with him and the audience sees that many of the people of these regions remember Mr. Scheenbaum with affection. One of the Unusual Guinea men weak to be his lover. Then, they recede abet to Peru, where Mr. Scheenbaum recalls going on a hunt with the tribesmen that resulted in execute and cannibalism. And, yes, he did sample a bit of human flesh.
Mr. Scheenbaum is teach and witty and a ample storyteller. He’s speaks openly about his homosexuality and there is a lot of introspection about his experience of cannibalism. He’s written several books on the subject and we watch film clips from excerpts from talk shows he’s been on through the years. While I found the movie sharp, I had a spacious jam with it. It’s all about Mr. Scheenbaum. It’s not about the people of Original Guinea or Peru. I guess I was hoping for an anthropological film. I wanted to know more about the tribe in Original Guinea than the fact that Mr. Scheenbaum had male lovers. I wanted to know what the meaning of cannibalism had in the rituals of the people of Peru. I wanted to know about both these tribes’ religious customs, marriage rituals, burial practices, etc. In short, I wanted to pick my absorb swagger into the rainforest and learn about the blueprint of these people.

Alas, this was not to happen. This was a film about Tobias Scheenbaum and his hold filters through which he viewed his experiences. It’s all about him, not the people he came in contact with. And that, to me was the weakness of the film. I unprejudiced wish that some filmmakers would want to do a film about the fast-disappearing non-literate cultures of the world without making it a celebration to the enlightening experiences of an American. There’s stuff out there about the staunch people in Fresh Guinea and Peru that is indeed worthwhile to film. This is a not a awful film for what it is. There’s nice film footage of Modern Guinea and the rainforest. The documentary techniques are professional. And the viewer comes away with some insights into the persona of Tobias Scheenbaum. But I cannot cloak my disappointment in wanting something more.
