The Beast

From the moment I viewed the preview for this film I sensed that this would deeply resonate. Or just click all my boxes for a film. And I was right.  A beautifully crafted sci-fi that at it’s core is not about displaying the awe of futurism and it’s technology, but rather human dynamics and emotions. Which I love. The visuals are gorgeous and framing spectacular. I watched this for a second time the day after.  The ending shot is so haunting and beautiful; Léa Seydoux is fantastic. I think the beauty and exploration of repressed, taboo thoughts and emotions are what strikes a chord with me. Also I find Léa’s love life relatable… Again, I can’t stop thinking of the last shot. I love it. Oh and also 2040-something George MacKay is my husband.
