Editorial
Inspired by a Henry James parable, Bertrand Bonello’s arresting odyssey stars Léa Seydoux and George MacKay in an epoch-spanning tale of doomed love. Awash with dread, desire, and loneliness, The Beast alternates between sci-fi, melodrama, and horror, capturing the paralyzing fear of the unknown.
