Emotions? They are just an obstacle. This is the conclusion reached by artificial intelligence, which will soon take control over humanity. This is the starting point of 'The Beast' – the latest film by Bertrand Bonello, featuring the stunning Léa Seydoux and George MacKay in the lead roles.
The New Horizons Association and Kino Muranów invite you to a special screening of the film, combined with a meeting with Dr. hab. Aleksandra Przegalińska – an expert in the field of AI, co-author of the book 'Artificial Intelligence. Inhuman, Arch-Human,' a philosopher, researcher of new technology development, who has conducted research at the Center for Collective Intelligence at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston, and in Poland is professionally associated with the Kozminski University.
More about the film: Awarded at the Venice Film Festival, a visionary film by the master of French cinema Bertrand Bonello, inspired by the legendary story by Henry James. It is the year 2044, and artificial intelligence controls humans, urging Gabrielle (the stunning Léa Seydoux in several incarnations!) with the voice of Xavier Dolan, also a co-producer of the film, to undergo a procedure to eliminate strong feelings connecting her to previous incarnations. We find her in Paris in 1910, when in a palace interior she meets Louis, who, like X from 'Last Year at Marienbad,' convinces her that they have met before. Thus begins – captured in a spectacular form of melodrama, science fiction, thriller, and horror film – a spectacular and surprising story of eternally unfulfilled love and never-overcome fear. The visually extraordinary film by Bonello aims to burst the confines of the cinematic screen and the film experience.
