00:00After participating in the Venice Film Festival with Kier, Luca Guadagnino returns to the Lido, this time out of competition with After the Hunt.
00:13The film tells the story of Alma, a Yale professor waiting for a promotion who finds herself in the middle of a rather thorny issue when her favorite student confesses to her that a colleague abused her.
00:30At the same time, this colleague is very fascinated by Anna, is fascinated by her and perhaps even more so, and confesses to her that he had a fight with this girl.
00:44Thus, Alma finds herself, despite herself, at the center of a rather thorny case that will have very important consequences for everyone involved.
00:54Guadagnino chooses to tell the story with a very particular tone.
01:00First of all, it winks at Woody Allen, replicating some of his formalisms, starting with the end credits, which use the same font characteristic of Allen's cinema, but also in some directorial choices and in some uses of the soundtrack, which in this case too, for Guadagnino, is composed by Trent Redner and Articus Ross.
01:19The most interesting thing about After the Hunt is that the film tells a very current story, a story that we have seen, told and repeated many times from many points of view.
01:35But Guadagnino makes the effort to shed light on every point of view, every aspect of the issue and each of the people involved.
01:40The result is an extremely complex picture that does not provide too many answers, but which fully conveys the complexity of this type of power relations, this type of power games that daily affect the world of work and life in general in our contemporary world.
02:00Another thing that cannot be overlooked is that Guadagnino confirms himself as an extraordinary director of actors.
02:10The film's undisputed star is Julia Roberts, an actress of proven talent who here shows off another refined performance, but Andrew Garfield and A.N. Beery are also absolutely on point and embody the type of person entrusted to them very well.
02:28What could seem vaguely controversial about the film is that Guadagnino chooses, as already mentioned, to tell not only a story about power relations and a case of harassment, but also a generational clash.
02:50In telling this generational clash, Guadagnino could be, or could have been, vaguely unfair towards Gen Z.
02:56She is the absolute protagonist of the story, but she is also perhaps the one he portrays with the greatest severity.
03:07Faced with such a contemporary and complex subject, Guadagnino does not want to back down, but is able to tackle a very complex subject with great elegance and seriousness.
03:20This makes the film a very interesting object that is worth watching despite its complexity.
03:26Who has also pointed at the film, what they do to do, the movie was to interesting for the film of Noah Roberts,
03:29who wasidän errores of the film.
