The Gulls Synopsis
Arne Sucksdorff’s short documentary observes gulls raiding nests and stealing eggs with ruthless persistence. Though presented as pure nature study, the film was widely read as an allegory of Nazism—a symbolic parable of predation and violence during wartime. Sucksdorff himself denied such intent, but remarked that “a film that is not open to interpretation is a dead film.”
The Gulls (1944) is a documentary film directed by Arne Sucksdorff, released on April 1, 1944 with a runtime of 18m. It stars Willy Peters. Viewers rate it 7.5 out of 10 across 2 ratings.
