One of the most original directors of our time takes a look into the emotionless future.

La Bête
2023, Bertrand Bonello

France–Canada
150 minutes, French with Russian subtitles

Starring: Léa Seydoux, George MacKay, Dasha Nekrasova, Julia Faure

The year 2044. Gabrielle, like many of her peers, is about to undergo a radical mental transformation—cleansing her DNA of the sorrows and anxieties inherited from her past lives. In the course of the procedure, she keeps meeting her casual acquaintance Louis—both in Paris in 1910 and in Los Angeles in 2014. The new film by the director of Nocturama and Zombie Child switches effortlessly between eras, capturing the fears, passions and socio-cultural dramas of each.

Shot from La Bête, 2023

The Beast is audacious and traumatisingly sexual, maybe Bonello’s best movie yet.

— Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
