The Royal Chase

About This Movie

The Royal Chase, directed by François Leterrier, has this really interesting vibe. The pacing is deliberate, almost languid, allowing the tension between the characters to simmer. You’ve got these two friends who are all about the hunt, but then this woman enters the picture, and she’s a game changer. Her perspective on their pastime challenges not only their friendship but also the very act of hunting itself. The performances are understated, yet they carry a weight that’s hard to shake off. You can feel the societal implications of their actions hanging over them. And the cinematography—oh, the landscapes—capture a haunting beauty that contrasts sharply with the moral dilemmas at play. It’s reflective and thought-provoking, definitely leaves an impression.
