There’s something deeply unsettling about walking out of a cinema feeling like you’ve just witnessed something profound, yet having absolutely no idea what it was trying to tell you. That’s exactly how I felt after watching After the Hunt, the latest psychological drama from acclaimed director Luca Guadagnino.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fresh off the success of Challengers <\/a>and with the prior success of projects like Call Me By Your Name behind him, Guadagnino has crafted another visually stunning film. <\/p>\n The movie follows college professor Alma (Julia Roberts<\/a>) as she finds herself caught in a devastating crossfire when her star student (Ayo Edebiri<\/a>) levels accusations of sexual assault against one of her colleagues (Andrew Garfield). What unfolds is a complex web of professional ethics, personal secrets, and institutional power that threatens to unravel everything Alma thought she knew about her world.\u00a0<\/p>\n Let’s start with what absolutely works: everything you can see and hear. Guadagnino has created a masterclass in atmospheric filmmaking. The cinematography is gorgeous yet claustrophobic, the score is unsettling, and every element of the film’s construction seems designed with one purpose: to make you deeply, profoundly uncomfortable for two solid hours.<\/p>\n Watch the trailer for After the Hunt.
