The beast
DVD - 2024
By the year 2044, artificial intelligence reigns, and human emotions are a liability that must be surgically removed. This procedure triggers Gabrielle, leading her to experience haunting memories of her past lives. As she rediscovers what it means to be truly alive, she awaits the erasure of her humanity with growing fascination and dread. Bonello freely adapts Henry James' novella "The Beast in the Jungle" into a stunning science-fiction labyrinth that is as metaphysically mysterious as it is emotionally powerful. -excerpted from back matter.
