Geschichte
In 'Shooting Party', set in 1913 just before World War I, a group of aristocrats converges at Sir Randolph Nettleby's estate for a weekend hunting party. The film explores the decaying social dynamics among these high society individuals as they engage in trivial pursuits and polite conversations that belie their true feelings and motivations. Only Sir Randolph seems to acknowledge the impending end of their privileged way of life, which mirrors the broader societal changes on the horizon.
