Greenwich Entertainment debuted the official trailer for The Beasts (As Bestas) the Goya award winning Spanish thriller starring Denis Ménochet and Marina Foïs as a French couple settling in the Spanish countryside, however, their presence creates hostility with their neighbors.
Also starring in the film are Luis Zahera, Diego Anido and Marie Colomb.
Directed by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, the thriller film world premiered at the 75th Cannes Film Festival, and went on to play at other festivals including Miami Film Festival where it won the top jury prize. The film received 17 nominations at the 37th Goya Awards, winning in 9 categories, including Best Film, Director, and Leading Actor for Ménochet.
The Beast will open in theaters on July 28, and on VOD on September 26.
Antoine (Denis Ménochet) and Olga (Marina Foïs) are a French couple that settled down, some time ago, in a small village, in inland Galicia (Spain). There, they lead a peaceful life, although coexisting with the local people isn’t as idyllic as they would like. A conflict with their neighbors, the Anta brothers (Luis Zahera and Diego Anido), breaks out whereby tension will grow throughout the hamlet until it reaches a point of no return.
Director Rodrigo Sorogoyen said “From the outset there was a concept I wanted to link to As Bestas: justice. When we wrote the story of Olga and Antoine, we were always filled with a terrible feeling of injustice. That frustration, that lack of justice, was the feeling I wanted to explore in this film. But the interesting thing about justice is that it isn’t indisputable. It’s relative.”
