This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In Spanish with English subtitles.

The Hunt (original Spanish title: La Caza) involves a less-than-sentimental journey to the onetime battlefields of the Spanish Civil War. Three aging pro-Franco veterans of that tragic contretemps, joined by a teenaged boy, embark upon a rabbit hunt where once they had exchanged gunfire and ideologies. As tensions flare between the trio of grey-haired warriors, the rabbits bear the brunt: they are slaughtered without mercy, much to the dismay of the youngest member of the expedition. This inevitably leads to the accidental death of one of the hunters--and a virtual recreation of the pointless carnage of the Civil War. Director Carlos Saura cowrote his script for The Hunt with Angelino Fons.

5 of 5 Must see Saura September 28, 2017
Reviewer: Shawn from Washington  
This is the film where Saura became Saura. It's an often hard to watch existential tale of 3 pro-Franco war vets who go on a hunting trip, and lose their minds.

The dialogue in this picture is crisp and lean, not a word is wasted - everything connects, everything carries multiple meanings.

However, animal lovers beware! The rabbit hunts are brilliantly staged, but sickening. I don't believe  it was was done as bloodlust exploitation, there's a reason for it. Never-the-less it's a sticking point for many viewers.
