Task: La Decima Vittima.

La Decima Vittima (The Tenth Victim) is an Italian film produced in 1965, in which wars/disagreements are generally avoided by allowing those with violent tendencies to partake in The Big Hunt.  The Hunt is a global form of entertainment, which attracts those looking for fame and fortune.  The Hunt includes ten rounds for each person, five as the Hunter and five as the Victim.  The survivor of the ten rounds becomes extremely wealthy and can retire from the games.

The film revolves around a hunter and his/her victim, the romance and the mind games between, whilst the rules and justification for the games are being narrated.

The film follows a Caroline Meredith (Ursula Andress), a huntress, and her tenth victim-to-be, Marcello Poletti (Marcello Mastroianni).  Poletti is relucatant to kill Meredith, as he is not sure whether she is a hunter or not.  Later, a romance ensues between the two, but Meredith has just been out to get the perfect kill in-front of the cameras.

I quite enjoyed this film, it made me think about the current public assassin games, such as StreetWars where people are silently made targets by chosen attackers and squirted with water guns to mark their kill.
