Lead actress Léa Seydoux discusses the NYFF61 Main Slate selection, The Beast, in a conversation moderated by FLC Vice President of Programming Florence Almozini. The Beast opens at FLC on April 5. Get tickets: www.filmlinc.org/films/the-be...
A filmmaker consistently unafraid to wade through the weird miasma of contemporary life, Bertrand Bonello (Nocturama; Coma, NYFF60) works from the outside in, dramatizing the psychological toll of the political and cultural world around us. Here he has created a dynamic and disturbing parable that jumps between three different time periods (1910, 2014, and 2044) to diagnose our acute-and perhaps eternal-feelings of estrangement and alienation. Using Henry James’s haunting 1903 short story “The Beast in the Jungle” as his film’s provocative inspiration, Bonello tells the story of a young woman (Léa Seydoux) who undergoes a surgical process to have her DNA-and therefore memories of all her past lives-removed. In so doing, she realizes her fate has long been intertwined, for better and worse, with a young man (George MacKay). Touching on modern anxieties of AI and incel culture, which may recur throughout history as commonly as love and hate, The Beast, like all good science-fiction, asks essential questions about the ever-shifting status of humanity itself. An NYFF61 Main Slate selection. A Sideshow and Janus Films release.

I was lucky enough to watch La Bête last October here in my country. Léa Seydoux gives the performance of a lifetime, she definitely is the best actress of her generation. I'm very happy to keep watching her growth as an actor.

9:45 English translations for 'impudique' are 'immodest' or 'indecent', which usually means not to conform with accepted standards of behaviour, often in relation to sexual matters (e.g wearing very revealing clothing in public) - In the context of wanting to watch yourself in a movie you star in, a suitable english word might be 'narcissistic' which translates back to 'narcissique' (though it might not carry the same literal meaning in french). I think Lea is saying she does not want to be narcissistic or it causes those feelings.
