Waidmannsheil ‘Hail to the Good Shooter' (NR)

synopsis

The pomp and savagery of the Belgian group hunt is exposed in this atmospheric, suspenseful and sometimes ironic piece of direct cinema. With the icy detachment of an ethnographer, Klass Boelen scrutinizes the rituals of a wily group of bourgeois weekend warriors as they compete to kill deer in a pastoral landscape.
