Sweet Inquest on Violence

1982 · 98 min Drama
5.6 / 10 · TMDB

After a businessman is captured by kidnappers, his rescue seems incumbent on a group of filmmakers, rather than a lackluster police force -- a premise that is matched by the rest of this movie. The kidnapping victim rambles on philosophically with his captors, who end up leaving him alone -- thereby providing him with a chance to escape. As he makes a break for it, he is literally hounded by some guard dogs. Then there are also some interviews with people who know one of the kidnappers, though it is not clear why. Neither the victim, nor the kidnappers, nor the filmmakers can compete with the canines, the only protagonists who add some bite to the action.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Sweet Inquest on Violence has mixed reviews with a rating of 5.6/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1982. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
