The Beasts

Spanish filmmaker Rodrigo Sorogoyen cements his reputation as one of contemporary European cinema’s specialists in suspense with his hugely accomplished fourth feature.

French couple Antoine (Denis Ménochet) and Olga (Marina Foïs), have been settled for years in a small village in Galicia Spain. The pair practice ecological agriculture and repair ruined houses to encourage repopulation - a responsible attitude that triggers the anger of their neighbours, two vicious brothers and their mother...

A terrific psychological thriller and brooding piece of filmmaking, Sorogoyen’s film informs us that monsters exist in the world, and they may reside closer to our homes than we care to imagine.
