THE BEAST
Dir Bertrand Bonello | 2023 | France | 147 min | 15 | French
In 2044, artificial intelligence controls all facets of society as humans routinely "erase" their feelings. Hoping to eliminate pain caused by past-life romances, Gabrielle continually falls in love with different incarnations of Louis as she explores past lives in different times and parts of the world, from Belle Époque-era Paris, to early 21st Century Los Angeles. Will the process allow Gabrielle to fully connect with Louis in the present, or are the two doomed to repeat their previous fates?
Starring Léa Seydoux, George MacKay, Guslagie Malanda

REVIEWS
"... such a luxurious cinematic experience; it’s created with such elan and attack, and the musical
score amplifies its throb of fear." ★★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
"At the center of this cinematic labyrinth is Ms. Seydoux... she gives a performance here of astonishing, chameleonic intensity." Zachary Barnes,
Wall Street Journal
"Classical and ultramodern, The Beast is an experience both bold and rich." Barry Hertz, Globe and Mail
ACCESSIBILITY
This film will be presented with Descriptive Subtitles. Please read on for more information.
Hull Independent Cinema is working towards creating more accessibility for our audiences. HIC have decided to present all our films with descriptive subtitles, where available.
Descriptive subtitles refer to subtitles intended for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. They are also known as HOH (Hard of Hearing) subtitles or SDH (Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing). These subtitles are a transcription rather than a just translation; in addition to reproducing dialogue, they aim to describe additional non-dialogue sounds available to a hearing audience, e.g. “(sighs)” or “(door creaks)” and song lyrics. In our experience, guests do not find the subtitles distracting, especially as the majority of our films are subtitled foreign language films.
AGE RATING
THE BEAST is rated 15. Under 15s will not be admitted. For more information, please see the film's page on the BBFC website
Programme Details
The venue is open all day, so why not come along early to grab a drink and a snack? The programme run time includes an allowance for introductions and up to three trailers. While we will endeavour to accommodate latecomers, this may not always be possible. Please note that we reserve the right to refuse entry, without a refund, to anyone arriving after the advertised start time.
Please note the pedestrian entrance to Princes Quay is either via the Quayside entrance (next to Nandos) or via the footpath from Waterhouse Lane / Bonus Arena. Both entrances off Carr Lane are closed after 6pm. The car park entrance remains unaffected.
