Treibjagd

I have always loved this movie, since the first time I saw it, during the late seventies. First because of the story and characters, and of course thanks of the Francis Lai's superb score, so sad, so melancholic, in the perfect mood of the story. The tale of characters facing their fate, their doom, fighting in a struggle lost in advance. I am not surprised that 90% of audiences don't like this feature, even the old timers like me. I don't even speak of modern audiences. I can't explain the link between the kid's sequences, in the beginning and the very end, and the adult's ones. Is the young kid Jean Louis Trintignant's character when he was a child? Robert Ryan, at his ever peak, one year before his death. yes, I love this film.
