Full Trailer for Bertrand Bonello's Sci-Fi 'The Beast' with Léa Seydoux

"I'm afraid of no longer feeling things..." Janus Films has revealed the full official US trailer for the indie French sci-fi romantic thriller The Beast, the latest unique creation from filmmaker Bertrand Bonello. This initially premiered at last year's Venice Film Festival in the fall, with additional festival stops at New York, London and Toronto as well. It's hard to properly describe or even try to explain this film, as it's a peculiar mix of ideas spanning multiple timelines. The plot is set partly in a near future in which A.I. is in control of everyone's lives and emotions are perceived as a threat. To get rid of them, Gabrielle must purify her DNA by going back into her past lives. There, she reunites with Louis, her great love. But she's overcome by fear, a premonition that catastrophe is on the way. The Beast stars French actor Léa Seydoux and British actor George MacKay playing multiple roles in different characters across time, connected mainly by love and other mysterious forces. Bonello adds this explanation: "My desire was to interweave the intimate and the spectacular, classicism and modernity, the known and the unknown, the visible and the invisible. To speak, perhaps, of the most heartbreaking of feelings, the fear of love." This film is for hardcore cinema nerds only. // Continue Reading ›
