巴伐利亚打猎即景

Peter Fleischmann's 1970 gem, *Hunting Scenes from Lower Bavaria* (Jagdszenen aus Niederbayern), kicks off with those postcard-perfect shots of a Bavarian village at church and later buzzing at the local festival. But don't get lulled—Fleischmann skewers the hell out of their small-minded bigotry and sheer cluelessness. He nails the everyday vibe: endless teasing, crude jokes, nonstop chatter, and that undercurrent of dim-witted cruelty. Things sharpen when a young guy comes back home; their petty spite and playground bullying zero in on him, branding him gay for no damn reason and turning him into a total outcast. It's all rooted in their suffocating traditionalism—anything "off" gets crushed. A young widow gets shunned, less for sleeping around than for her disabled partner and dim-witted kid; the schoolteacher's iced out just for being book-smart; and wrecking that poor guy's life? No biggie, like butchering a hog for dinner. This ain't 1930s Germany, it's the 1970s, but the echoes to darker times hit hard. A raw, unflinching standout in German New Wave cinema that still packs a punch
