I had big expectations because of its reputation as one of the greatest film of all time. What a disappointment. I didn't care about these people's lives. Luis Buñuel made films dealing with similar themes and they are much more entertaining.

I'm afraid this is one of those social commentary films the French excel at that I routinely fail to fully appreciate. There's certainly a foreboding sense of doom, watching this and being keenly aware of the precise moment in time it was made and released. But a lot of the deeper meaning I can only catch hints of. That said, there's a beautiful artistry throughout--gliding cameras, cross-cutting, and of course the famous hunt sequence. This feels like a movie I'll return to, and I'd love to read a book about it.
