In select cities from April 5, Léa Seydoux, known for her role in “Crimes of the Future,” headlines the cast of “The Beast,” with Janus Films unveiling the trailer exclusively through Vulture this morning.

Directed by French filmmaker Bertrand Bonello, this mind-bending sci-fi drama takes viewers on a journey into a future where artificial intelligence reigns supreme, and humans routinely suppress their emotions. Seydoux portrays Gabrielle, a woman who repeatedly falls in love with different incarnations of Louis (played by George MacKay), hoping to erase the pain caused by their past-life romances.

The story unfolds across different time periods, from Belle Époque-era Paris to early 21st Century Los Angeles, as Gabrielle and Louis navigate their complex relationship. Will their attempts to reconnect in the present succeed, or are they destined to repeat their tragic history?

Janus Films describes “The Beast” as a visually stunning epic, drawing inspiration from Henry James’ turn-of-the-century novella, and infused with a sense of mounting dread and mystery.
