After the Hunt, Luca Guadagnino’s latest cinematic project, has stirred a lot of conversation since its debut and not just for its star studded cast. With themes surrounding academia, gender politics, power dynamics, and sexual assault, the film positions itself as a bold and timely commentary on contemporary world. But the audience has been sharply divided: some have praised its intellectual ambition, while others have criticised its narrative and emotional detachment. However, one thing is certain- it’s a film that demands attention from its audience, even when it frustrates them.
