It's like a whole bunch of people found a chest full of film budget and decided to film this abomination. Prepare yourself for three hours of the worst acting you've ever seen in great costumes amid big budget locations. It's almost as if they spent the whole budget on location and only then realized they needed actors.
Naturally I skipped through plenty of the film. I'm sure if I sat down through the whole thing, it would be Chinese water torture, as another reviewer offers. Everybody seemingly just reads their lines from a script, without any engagement, emotional investment or even the appearance of authenticity. You'll be taken across a sprawling vista of South America (somewhere), if you don't fall asleep.
Please, find yourself another film to watch, this is not worth it. I recommend "I Love You, Alice B. Toklas", also featuring the gorgeous Jennifer Leigh. She's actually the reason I wanted to check this out. She's okay here, but nothing like the dazed out stoned girlfriend she played there - her acting skill was perfectly matched for such a role, and I wish she played that character more.
