The Rabbit Hunters is an extension of the methods (hieratic portraiture, avant-garde ethnography) and milieus (the slums of Portugal, the mindscape of ghosts) explored by Colossal Youth. Where Costa's epic feature relied on duration to generate an existential wallop, the 23-minute short is charged by an electrifying incision of composition and cutting. Potentially unintelligible without knowledge of Colossal Youth, to which it serves as a sort of pastoral companion piece, The Rabbit Hunters is mighty strange nonetheless. Sometimes, the most interesting films baffle more than explain. Ditto the most interesting critics.
