About This Movie

Safari (2023) offers a raw, haunting exploration of identity and violence, focusing on Elia, a member of a hunting group. The film dives into the unsettling duality he experiences—the external façade versus internal turmoil. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of each scene to settle, almost suffocating at times, yet it's this very tension that makes the emotional release all the more impactful. It’s shot with a stark realism that’s visually striking, using practical effects to emphasize the visceral nature of the subject matter. The performances, especially from the lead, are piercing and layered, drawing you into a world that feels both unsettling and achingly real. There's a unique focus on the psychological scars left by societal violence, crafting a narrative that's painfully resonant.
