The Beast

The Beast (La Bête) is a visually rich sci‑fi romantic drama set in a future where artificial intelligence dominates society and human emotions are considered dangerous. Gabrielle (Léa Seydoux) undergoes a controversial procedure to “purify” her DNA of emotions, leading her into haunting past lives and repeated encounters with Louis (George MacKay) across different eras — from Belle Époque Paris to contemporary Los Angeles. As she tries to eradicate feeling, the film explores love, identity, and the human heart’s persistence in the face of emotional erasure, weaving a metaphysical and emotional tale inspired by Henry James’s novella The Beast in the Jungle.
