Seemingly a reversal of Luis Bunuel's The Exterminating Angel, Savages starts with a tribal group (the 'Mud People') performing what appears to be a sacrifice (all to un-translated German narration), who stop to follow the path of a mysterious croquet ball that lands in their midst. The path leads them to a large mansion in the middle of the jungle, wherein they begin 'evolving' into 1920's socialites, soon taking on roles of the various characters in a weekend party (two even taking opposite gender roles!). The film follows the evolution (and eventual devolution) of these characters as a story about the unchanging 'tribal' nature of humanity. The cinematography in the film is a major highlight, going from black & white to sepia-toned to color, using the shifting color scheme beautifully, and the script is a wonderfully sadistic satire, well-played by an excellent cast (including Sam Waterston in an early role). The film is purposefully slow-moving, beautiful to watch, quietly philosophical, and utterly strange and haunting in the way that Merchant Ivory films tend to be, the film is heartily recommended to those who go for the more unusual and experimental.
