A filmmaker consistently unafraid to wade through the weird miasma of contemporary life, Bertrand Bonello (Nocturama; Coma, NYFF60) works from the outside in, dramatizing the psychological toll of the political and cultural world around us. Here he has created a dynamic and disturbing parable that jumps between three different time periods (1910, 2014, and 2044) to diagnose our acute-and perhaps eternal-feelings of estrangement and alienation. Using Henry James’s haunting 1903 short story “The Beast in the Jungle” as his film’s provocative inspiration, Bonello tells the story of a young woman (Léa Seydoux) who undergoes a surgical process to have her DNA-and therefore memories of all her past lives-removed. In so doing, she realizes her fate has long been intertwined, for better and worse, with a young man (George MacKay). Touching on modern anxieties of AI and incel culture, which may recur throughout history as commonly as love and hate, The Beast, like all good science-fiction, asks essential questions about the ever-shifting status of humanity itself. An NYFF61 Main Slate selection. A Sideshow and Janus Films release.

Léa seems to be so genuine, sweet, sensitive and passionate about eveything. I absolutely love her, both as an actress and as a person ❤

Did you see her in "Blue is the warmest color"?

[@larifrom5to7]

I was lucky enough to watch La Bête last October here in my country. Léa Seydoux gives the performance of a lifetime, she definitely is the best actress of her generation. I'm very happy to keep watching her growth as an actor.
