Hunting Daze | Watch Online & Full Details
🎬 Title: Hunting Daze / Jour de chasse
Story: Nina, a young and headstrong exotic dancer, finds herself stranded in the far North. She convinces her recent customers, five men on a bachelor hunting trip, to put her up for a few days. In this masculine microsociety, by turns hilarious and philosophical, Cynthia starts to feel a sense of belonging she never has before. But a mysterious stranger’s arrival changes the course of this improvised holiday forever. Both raw and dreamlike, Hunting Daze offers up a unique universe where humour, horror, the uncanny, and the sensual combine.

Editor’s note: Hunting Daze (2024) in a nutshell: Firmly a Mystery, Thriller, Drama piece, but with a personal touch. Under Annick Blanc’s direction, the film keeps a steady rhythm and a clear sense of place. Performances (especially Nahéma Ricci, Bruno Marcil, Frédéric Millaire-Zouvi) give the story human stakes. At 1h 19m, it moves with a measured pace and rarely overstays a scene. Divisive in places—approach it for its atmosphere rather than novelty. Worth a watch for the craft alone, even beyond the genre appeal.
