Safari

About This Movie

Ulrich Seidl’s Safari is a stark, unsettling look at the hunting tourism phenomenon, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Africa’s vast landscapes. The film captures the juxtaposition of serene natural beauty and the raw intensity of the hunt. Its pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to sit with the uncomfortable reality of the tourists' excitement as they stalk their prey. Seidl’s keen eye for detail immerses you in the atmosphere—there’s a striking tension in the air that feels almost palpable. The practical effects are minimal, yet impactful, relying heavily on the authenticity of real experiences. The performances, or perhaps just the raw human reactions, are candid and sometimes jarring, making it a distinctive piece that raises questions about morality and the human impulse to dominate nature.
