I'm afraid this is one of those social commentary films the French excel at that I routinely fail to fully appreciate. There's certainly a foreboding sense of doom, watching this and being keenly aware of the precise moment in time it was made and released. But a lot of the deeper meaning I can only catch hints of. That said, there's a beautiful artistry throughout--gliding cameras, cross-cutting, and of course the famous hunt sequence. This feels like a movie I'll return to, and I'd love to read a book about it.
