LITFILMS Wettbewerb: The Beast

In the organizer's words:

International competition literary adaptation at the LITFILMS Literature Film Festival Münster at the Schloßtheater: starring Léa Seydoux and George MacKay, THE BEAST is a complex, eerie thriller adaptation reminiscent of David Lynch, inspired by Henry James' novella "The Beast in the Jungle". [French/English original language]

In the year 2044, emotions no longer have a place in a society controlled by AI. Feelings have become superfluous obstacles that hinder productivity. Gabrielle (Léa Seydoux) cannot free herself from her fears and is forced to have her DNA "purified" by the AI. This process sends her on a journey through her past lives. At the beginning of the 20th century, Gabrielle is a concert pianist in Paris, in the 2010s she lives as a photo model in Los Angeles, always meeting Louis (George MacKay), who seems to be connected to her. In different incarnations and eras, the encounter between Gabrielle and Louis tells of great feelings and the difficulty of living them.
