Une chasse à courre剧情介绍

What we have here is a bunch of shots of some costumed yahoos, their dogs and horses engaged in an exercise of killing and tearing apart an animal. The camera itself is and the events are wholly unremarkable; it is the editing that is the experiment. Careful composition is used to convey a disturbing rhythm. Note that it is something like a broken rule where every third triplet is discordant. Small and large segments of film are used. The stock is flipped where required so that the left-right discontinuities can be preserved. A score provides the rhythmic narration. The score is based on brass staccato associated with the hunt and a visual bridge is established with frequent shots of the huntmaster's horns. That music tells us the rhythm of the edits. It is a pretty remarkable idea, the hunt for the right edit, the edit conveying the uselessness of the hunt.
