Somewhat Wild

About This Movie

Somewhat Wild is a fascinating exploration of the interplay between humans and nature, set against the backdrop of the forest at dusk. The film unfolds slowly, almost meditative, as we follow hunters with their dogs, illuminated by the glow of GPS screens, while contrasting this with Maina's routine of sheep counting. The tension builds with the looming threat of wolves, yet it’s not just about the hunt; it’s about how these lives intersect. Adam's quest to capture the elusive wolf adds a layer of intimacy, and his connection to the wilderness feels genuine. The pacing allows you to soak in the atmosphere, with practical effects enhancing the rawness of the environment. It's a unique slice of life that draws you in.
