La Decima Vittima Thoughts
La Decima Vittima (The 10th Victim) was an interesting film, I'm not sure I totally understood it to be honest. From what I understood it was about a competition involving competitors being chosen to be either the hunter or the victim. The hunter was shown the victim's face and their goal was to hunt them down and kill them whereas the victim was only told that they were being hunted but not by who. The victim's goal was to kill the hunter before they get killed themself. A woman is assigned to hunt a man who has survived 9 rounds but they end up falling for eachother, which complicates things. I found the film pretty interesting but sometimes a bit ridiculous.

La Decima Vitimma was shown because its release in cinemas inspired an interest in assassin-type games across North American university campuses in the mid-1960s.
ReplyDeleteThe film is based on a short story by Robert Sheckley, entitled "The Seventh Victim", which can be found in the UCS library in the collection Store of the Worlds
