Plot summary

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.

I did love the protagonist, but I found

I did love the protagonist, but I found that the other antagonists, alone with the cruelty to animals (including the human animal,) made it almost impossible to stomach. I kept forwarding it. The ending was bleak, and it seemed uncertain that the protagonist survived.

Written and directed by Annick Blanc, Jour de chasse is engaging from the start, where Nina is stranded on a highway and, seemingly with no other choice, decides to join a group of hunters in an isolated cabin. Tension is a sensation not only felt from minute one, but also something on the rise as the story goes on. Nina, surrounded by a group of men she barely knows, illustrates the dichotomy of a new found otherness, someone who, at first sight, doesn't belong. A difference that shouldn't be mistaken by unwillingness, for it is clear that in order to accept and welcome her in the group, a rite of initiation has to be passed.Jour de chasse evokes individuality, be that proper individuality, that of an individual, or a group's, their collective identity, and how it can serve as a mechanism of continuing with one's life no matter what is happening around. A device furthering hedonism while occluding exogenic realities. This is not the only, at least from a collectively-inclined point of view, pessimistic statement the movie is interested in communicating, social proof is also thematically present. Coined by Robert Cialdini in his 1984 book "Influence: Science and Practice," social proof is a psychological and social phenomenon in which individuals are influenced by others, resulting in their imitating others' behaviors in order to conform. In the context of the movie, as mentioned before, there is a clear escalation of tension, some of it by the unspoken assumed potentiality of something bad happening to Nina, and some by how the situation quickly escalates, leading to unforeseen consequences. Social proof might be the reason behind events as such. The perceived limitlessness of some situations, even when divorced from social normativity, presents a gap difficult to tread, but certainly a possibility in any given situation.It is clear Jour de chasse is also interested in gender in its depiction of masculinity as something toxic. A toxicity articulated in the overt "manliness" of this group of men and the bachelor party they are having where Nina is also part of. It is unclear what Annick Blanc's intentions are since, by not including other portrayals of gender and resorting to an apparently meta unidimensionality, she fails in exploring the theme enough and instead relies on a caricaturized, cliched portrayal of gender as something, and in doing so mistakenly, not performative but intrinsic. There are, however, moments where the movie contests this idea and seems that it doesn't sustain itself. But ultimately, it feels to be the equivalent of having a debate where your opponent is not present. Something that is better explored in Femme (2023), by Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choon Ping, and Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things (2023).The situation where the protagonist is, and then where the rest of the characters are, can be looked at as individuals thrown into uncharted territories. In this sense, the movie bears a close resemblance to Ruben Östlund's Triangle of Sadness from 2022. But this is not the only thing in common, there is also power dynamics and their displacement. This is effectively done since it is not only interesting to see but also something that comes completely unexpected.

It failed to entertain me...

Stumbling upon the 2024 Canadian movie "Jour De Chasse" (aka "Hunting Daze") by random chance here in 2025, of course I opted to watch the movie without knowing what I was in for. It being a movie that I hadn't already seen was more than sufficient to make me opt to sit down and watch it.However, writer Annick Blanc, who also directed the movie, failed to deliver a script and storyline that capture my interest, and thus failed to properly entertain me. So this movie was a bit of a struggle to sit through.Given my extremely limited exposure to the Canadian cinema then I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, and that was actually something that spoke in favor of the movie, as I enjoy watching new and unfamiliar talents on the screen. The acting performances in the movie were fair.This movie was not my cup of tea, and it definitely is not a movie that I will ever sit down to watch a second time.My rating of writer and director Annick Blanc's 2024 thriller "Jour De Chasse" lands on a three out of ten stars.
