Screening of the film "The Tenth Victim"
€ 3.00Based on a story by Robert Sheckley with a screenplay by Ennio Flaiano and Tonino Guerra, this 1965 film projects us into an indeterminate future where wars have been abolished and to create an outlet for some people’s violent instincts, the game of the human hunt is developed. All you have to do is be part of an international club and play by the rules, whereby members are alternately hunters, and prey. The young American woman Caroline (Ursula Andress) has reached her tenth and final hunt. To win the title she must eliminate the last victim, the slothful Roman, Marcello (Marcello Mastroianni). With extraordinary set designs and 1960s costumes, The Tenth Victim is a forerunner of sci-fi films featuring the game as social emancipation, especially the idea of the reality show. A critical prediction of the future, dominated by advertising and an aggressive mass media.
