The Jungle uses an expedition setting to make movement through unfamiliar territory a succession of decisions about evidence and trust. Tracks, reports and obstacles can promise a discovery without making its nature clear. Watch whether the landscape remains a readable physical place as the extraordinary elements accumulate; adventure needs a sense of distance as well as a destination.
