Savage

About This Movie

Savage (2020) dives deep into the connection—or lack thereof—between humanity and the natural world. It’s got this raw, visceral atmosphere that really captures the tension of its themes. The pacing is somewhat languid, letting you absorb the bleak landscape and the weight of the characters' choices. There’s a starkness to the practical effects that adds to its authenticity, making you feel the grit of the environment. Performances are understated but impactful, leaving an impression that lingers long after the credits roll. It’s distinct in how it tackles ecological issues without heavy-handedness, which is refreshing these days.

Savage has seen a limited release and is somewhat elusive in terms of physical formats, often making it a point of interest for collectors who appreciate films that tackle environmental themes. Its sparse distribution means that copies can be hard to come by, adding to its allure for those dedicated to curating a library that reflects on humanity’s impact on nature. The film’s unique style and thought-provoking narrative contribute to a growing interest among collectors who value cinema that prompts deeper reflection.
