A mind-boggling shocker from Austria that aims to settle the score with the super-rich of this world. Together with their children, Viktoria and Amon Maynard lead nearly perfect lives. They are successful in the business world and wealthy beyond comprehension. To let off steam, Amon goes hunting, though he doesn’t shoot animals – instead, he prefers to stalk arbitrary humans in a game of life and death. To achieve the proper work-life balance, of course. This mindset puts Amon in the company of numerous high-society sociopaths like Donald Trump, who once boasted: “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?”

“A must-see movie: a social satire in one piece, a Machiavellian family portrait.” (IndieWire)

“Ruthless Austrian satire takes aim at the superrich, treating capitalism as a most dangerous game.” (Variety; Peter Debruge)
