From Hundreds of Beavers to In a Violent Nature and Sasquatch Sunset, all have chosen to limit or refrain from dialogue to bring audiences closer to those that cannot speak for themselves
s the old adage goes “nature is red in tooth and claw” but this year’s environmental cinema focuses on a bloodier violence which is far from inevitable. The black and white slapstick comedyall chose to limit or entirely refrain from dialogue in order to offer strange odes to the environment which highlight humanity’s lasting impact on the natural world.and Laurent Charbonnier and Michel Seydoux’s Heart of An Oak.
While In a Violent Nature and Sasquatch Sunset are similar in the pacing and often brutalistic outlook of Gunda, Hundreds of Beavers’ fervent energy and quick wit shares more with Heart of An Oak. Although in the latter each animal and insect takes turns being predator and prey , director Mike Cheslik returns to the violent dynamic between human and animal.
Rather than rely on CGI that’s given many Disney live-action remakes that dead-behind-the-eyes quality, Sasquatch Sunset directors Nathan and David Zellner opted for realism. It is thanks to prosthetic artist Steve Newburn that the cryptid comes to life, no longer the blurry footage of bigfoot that believers hold up as evidence. The myth becomes tangible in the Northern Californian wilderness.
No one knows humanity’s cruelty better than In a Violent Nature’s Johnny , the vengeful resurrected corpse whose brutal death was covered up by the local logging company. The killer steals from the logging museum, dressing himself head to toe in the workwear, hiding the decomposing flesh that is a visceral testament to the logging industry’s violent history under the apparel of his enemy.
Whether it’s Jean desperately collecting furs to win the hand of a maiden, the sasquatches routinely calling out into the forest in the hopes of finding more of their kind, or Johnny’s quest to recover a stolen heirloom that belonged to his long-dead family, each unspeaking protagonist casts a lonely shadow.
