Glamorous leading man turned idiosyncratic auteur Cornel Wilde created
in the sixties and seventies a handful of gritty, violent explorations
of the nature of man, none more memorable than The Naked Prey. In the
early nineteenth century, after an ivory-hunting safari offends an
African tribe, the colonialists are captured and hideously tortured.
Only Wilde's marksman is released, without clothes or weapons, to be
hunted for sport, and he embarks on a harrowing journey through savanna
and jungle, back to a primitive state. Distinguished by vivid
widescreen camera work and the unflinching depiction of savagery, The
Naked Prey is both a propulsive, stripped-to-the-bone narrative and a
meditation on the notion of civilization. Criterion DVD rip.
Not a lot of dialog in this one but it doesn't need it. Cornel Wilde is
the manager of a charter safari to bag Elephants and encounters a group
of local semi-friendly tribesmen who want a gift for their chief. Wilde
says yes but his employer says no. The tribesmen a short while later
cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war on the safari. Wilde is the sole
survivor after the rampage and executions and because of his earlier
good intentions to give a gift is allowed a head start into the jungle.
After he reaches a designated point the chase is on. Superb character
study of a man who must use all of his knowledge and resources to not
only survive but evade.
