巴伐利亚打猎即景
Hunting Scenes from Bavaria
ynopsis from Time Out Film Guide:Between the seemingly idyllic opening and closing scenes depicting a rural community,first at church,then at the village festival,Fleischmann attacks that community's prejudices and ignorance without remorse.His very precisely observed portrait of Bavarian life begins with little more than a display of the villagers' constant ribbing,bawdy humour,continuous gossip,and more than a hint of their slow-wittedness.With the return of a young man,their idle malice and childish clowning,always on the edge of unpleasantness,receive some focus:quite without foundation,the lad is victimised as a homosexual.The crippling conformity of their ingrained conservatism leads the villagers to reject anything 'different':a young widow is ostracised,more for her crippled lover and idiot son than her morals a teacher is frozen out because she's educated the casual destruction of the young 'homosexual' is given no more thought than the cutting up of a pig.Not Germany in the ཚs but the ྂs nevertheless the political parallels are clear.An impressive film.
