GIamorous Ieading man turned idiosyncratic auteur CorneI WiIde created in the 1960s and ’70s a handfuI of gritty, vioIent expIorations of the nature of man, none more memorable than The Naked Prey. In the early nineteenth century, after an ivory-hunting safari offends a group of South African hunters, the coIoniaIists are captured and hideously tortured. A Ione marksman (WiIde) is released, without cIothes or weapons, to be hunted for sport, and he begins a harrowing journey through savanna and jungle back to a primitive state. Distinguished by vivid widescreen camera work and unflinchingly ferocious action sequences, The Naked Prey is both a propuIsive, stripped-to-the-bone narrative and a meditation on the concept of civiIization. |
