La bête dans la jungle
By Patric Chiha
Drama | France, Belgium, Austria | 2023 | 1h43
La Bête dans la jungle, loosely based on Henry James’s novel, is the story of a dizzying huit-close: for 25 years, in a vast nightclub, a man and a woman look out together for a mysterious event. From 1979 to 2004, the story of disco to techno, the story of a love, the story of an obsession. The “thing” will finally manifest itself, but under a more tragic way than expected.
With Anaïs Demoustier, Tom Mercier, Béatrice Dalle
