Veni Vidi Vici
The Maynards lead perfect lives as billionaires. Their father, Amon, is passionate about hunting but does not hunt animals.
Amon is primarily focused on taking the lives of the small town's residents with a sniper rifle. Fortunately for Amon, his wife Viktoria is a powerful lawyer, which makes it easier for him to maintain his hobby. The world's wealthiest receive harsh criticism in this pitch-dark Austrian satire about wealth, privilege, politics, and family ties, produced by Ulrich Seidl.
«Like a (less violent) version of American Psycho presented in the ironic, arm’s-length style of double Palme d’Or winner Ruben Östlund… designed to be divisive.»
