The Shooting Party
It is 1913 and Edwardian England is about to vanish into history...
A melancholic, intellectually engaged portrait of Edwardian aristocracy on the eve of its dissolution, where social decay and historical inevitability weigh heavily on a weekend gathering.
1913, shortly before the outbreak of WWI. A group of aristocrats gathers at the estate of Sir Randolph Nettleby for a weekend shoot. As the terminal decrepitude of a dying class is reflected in the social interactions and hypocrisy of its members, only world weary Sir Randolph seems to realise that the sun is setting.
