Too Many Beasts

About This Movie

Too Many Beasts is this gritty French crime drama that dives into the murky waters between rural life and the hunting elite. The pacing is deliberate, almost languid at times, exposing the mounting tension as Brun, the farmer, teeters on the edge of desperation. There's a rawness in the performances that really grounds the film—it's not just about the wild boars, but the broader conflict of man versus nature, and societal class struggles. The practical effects used in depicting the wildlife and the aftermath of violence lend a stark realism to the narrative. It's distinct in how it weaves ecological themes through personal vendettas, creating a compelling, albeit brutal, portrait of desperation.

Too Many Beasts has had a rather elusive presence in the collector circuit, with few copies making their way into circulation. Its scarcity transcends typical indie releases, leaving many fans of the genre hungry for any format—be it DVD or streaming. The film’s unique themes and visceral storytelling have garnered a niche following, making it a point of interest for those exploring the intersection of nature and human desperation in cinema.
