Dead Times

Dead Times (Les Temps morts). René Laloux, 1964.
😿
Edition screened: Included on Eureka! Masters of Cinema Blu-ray #006 Fantastic Planet, released 2006. French language with English subtitles. Runtime approximately 10 minutes.

Summary: Stock footage of hunting violence.

Details: From 5:06 through 5:45 are scenes of deep sea spear fishing, quail shooting, and bull fighting. The scenes are not particularly graphic except for a long shot of the bull lying on its side kicking in death throws. Laloux’s point is that human violence is reprehensible.
