Analysis
[edit]The English title comes fromBéla Bartók'sCantata Profana,whose story, heard as a radio broadcast in the film, echoes the conflict within the young doctor. It relates to nine sons raised by their father only to hunt, who know nothing of work, and spend all their time in the forest. The nine boys were turned magically into stags and, although recognised by their father, their altered natures mean they cannot return to live in their home.[3]
