In the near future where emotions have become a threat, Gabrielle finally decides to purify her DNA in a machine that will immerse her in her previous lives and rid her of any strong feelings. She then meets Louis and feels a powerful connection, as if she has known him forever. A melodrama crossed by the genre, which unfolds over three distinct periods, 1910, 2014 and 2044. The Beast (Janus Contemporaries) Blu-ray
By the year 2044, artificial intelligence reigns, and human emotions are a liability that must be surgically removed to produce a more pliant workforce. But this procedure triggers Gabrielle (Léa Seydoux) to experience haunting memories of her past lives, as she encounters different incarnations of her paramour, Louis (George MacKay), first in belle epoque Paris and then in 2014 Los Angeles. As she once more undergoes the pains and pleasures of romance—and rediscovers what it means to be truly alive—Gabrielle awaits the erasure of her humanity with growing fascination and dread. In his most ambitious film yet, visionary director Bertrand Bonello freely adapts Henry James’s novella The Beast in the Jungle into a visually stunning science-fiction labyrinth that is as metaphysically mysterious as it is emotionally powerful. Powered by Seydoux’s heartrending performance, The Beast poignantly imagines the consequences of humankind becoming too afraid to risk the inherent vulnerability of love.

Pretentious and boring, don’t waste your time.
All I can say is WTF? This movie does not make sense and is just a very pretentious silly movie. Don’t waste your time. The trailer is 100x better than the movie.

More than amazing
I’m a science fiction lover, and when drama is mixed with it I always expect the best, I almost cried for the end, it’s not an easy film, you may feel little boring in the beginning of it but you just need to be patient, full of true modern life lessons and life in general, I highly recommend it and wish I can find another film like this

The movie is in FRENCH with subtitles
Interesting movie and I enjoyed it. I just wish I knew it was in French with subtitles before I rented it. I’m not always in the mood to read along.
