Plot
Summary: In 1765 something was stalking
the mountains of south-western France. A 'beast' that
pounced on humans and animals with terrible ferocity.
Indeed they beast became so notorious that the King
of France dispatched envoys to find out what was happening
and to kill the creature. By the end, the Beast of
Gevaudan had killed over 100 people, to this day,
no one is entirely sure what it was, wolf? hyena?
or something supernatural? Whatever it was, shepherds
had the same life-expectancy as the red-suited guys
in 'Star Trek'. The Beast is a popular myth in France,
albeit one rooted firmly in reality; somewhat surprisingly
it is little known to the outside world, and perhaps
incredibly it has never been made into a movie. Until
now... Based on the true story of the Beast of the
Gevaudan that terrorised France in the mid-XVIIIth
century, the movie aims to tell first and explain
afterwards. In the first part, a special envoy of
the King of France, altogether biologist, explorer
and philosopher, arrives in the Gevaudan region, in
the mountainous central part of France. The Beast
has been attacking women and children for months and
nobody has quite been able to harm it or even take
a good look at it. In the second part, our hero Chevalier
de Fronsac will not only have to fight the Beast,
but also ignorance, bigotry and conspiracy and will
rely on two women, one an aristocrat, the other a
prostitute, as well as the enigmatic Mani, an Iroquois
he met in New-France (Canada).
Comments:
The
ultimate French action film. Brotherhood of the Wolf
(2001) has to be the ultimate French action film.
Not only is the direction superb but the action director
Phillip Kwok stages some of the best fights that I
have seen in awhile. How can you go wrong with state
of the art action scenes and a naked Monica Bellucci?
You can't. Besides Dobermann, this has to be the best
French action flick around. This movie has everything
you can want. The photography is excellent and the
editing is sharp and edgy. Highly recommended! A+
P.S. Monica Bellucci is so hot, she's on fire in this
one!!
