"The Beast: A Masterful Sci-Fi Drama Like No Other"

In Bertrand Bonello’s film "The Beast," Léa Seydoux and George MacKay portray doomed lovers over three lifetimes, exploring different genres from period drama to science fiction, with a spirit closest to a horror movie. The story follows Seydoux's character, Gabrielle, through different timelines, encountering MacKay's character, Louis, and being drawn to him despite leading to her destruction. The film overflows with intriguing ideas, even if they aren’t all fully explored, and Seydoux's performance shines, particularly in the 2014 segment, where she portrays a character suffused with dreamlike dread.
