Hunters on A White Field

Its not often i see Swedish film making one of my all time favourite genres - Psychological Thrillers! So i felt i had to watch this! Wanted to see this for a while!

First of all it got a really intriguing, original, special, and interesting plot that definitely fits the genre!

It starts out having a very good cinematography! Very beautiful!

The acting is much better then i thought it would be!

Great soundtrack!

The manuscript is really deep, the atmosphere and mixes well with the original plot and the actors. A really thought provoking piece.

It has its moments where it is abit confusing.

You get a very wierd feeling from this film.

"Jakt" is a film that studies human behaviour and social dilemmas aswell the psychological impacts and the effects on the mind. A very unique, heavy, intense, deep and brutal psychological thriller. Definitely worth to watch.

... Game? Hunt? Both? Well you decide so no pun intended. The movie is really slow paced, let me make this clear from the start ... you will have to be quite patient ... and it has three characters. We mostly see the whole thing through the eyes of one of them ... the newer member of the hunt club (I am calling it that, it is not named in the movie).

The more experienced hunters take him under his wing ... I was not sure where this was trying to go. I had my own thoughts of what they were planning ... and some dialog choices and even laughter made me wary to their actual intentions ... not going to go into if I was right or not. But I will say that I was quite wrong about the main character (the one we follow ... quite literally, especially during the hunting process).

There are decisions being made that make less sense in the overall concept of it all. I do wonder what an "insect" was supposed to tell us .. and I do think the movie digs itself way too deep ... especially with that ending (and yes I am certain if you saw the movie you know exactly what I did there)

Bad! Bad! All bad! Everything is bad 'bout this film. The story... there is no story. Magnus Krepper is usually a good actor. What is he doing in this movie? The acting is like in a schoolplay. I regret that I offered one and a half hour for it. Don't see it! You will also regret it!

If you are interested of movies with hunt-theme you shall instead see the movie Jägarna with Rolf Lassgård. That is a good movie with hunt as a theme.

I don't know if this is a debut by the director. It feels like the director want us to think of big questions when you see the film. My only question was: When is it over?
