A 'grown-up fairy tale' where the beast isn't hiding under the costume.
Beast takes us in the realm of enchantment where nothing is quite what it seems. This is a very grown up fairy tale where the sex can be at once brutal and gentle or vicious and corrupting. Cinematography, lighting, costume, sets and the cast of nine combine to make 'BEAST' a film unlike any other in the genre.
