“The Wild Hunt”, directed by Alexandre Franchi, is a feature film that successfully blends drama and thriller. The main hero of the film is a young man called Erik Magnusson. He has a girlfriend Evelyn, who offers him to take part in a very strange roll-playing game. The game has its elaborate rules, and each member should strictly follow them according to the character, which he plays.
Thus Erik gets into the dark woods, where the battle between medieval warriors is about to take place. This is a fight between brave Celts, violent Vikings, mysterious elves and sinister shaman Murtagh.
Everything goes well, until the game situation gets suddenly beyond control. Eric learns that his girlfriend has been seduced by one of the players. His reaction is evident… And all of a sudden players begin to break the rules and even change the characters, they play. The game becomes the place, where fantasy and reality confront each other, and it turns to a tragedy.
Alexandre Franchi tried to show the audience, how difficult is to survive in a made-up world. And this difficulty is connected mostly with the identity, one has to adopt, especially if it doesn’t coincide with the real state of things.
