La caza (1966)


 

Three men go hunting rabbits during a hot day. Heat and talking about events happened in the past make them angry, until they go totally crazy. 

Intense psychological drama, obviously intended as a political allegory, relentlessly exposes its protagonists' toxic masculinity, suitably staged in stark black-and-white and a overheated barren landscape, entrenched in a whirlpool of absurd moments and violence (the hunting scenes are quite hard to take).
