Bertrand Bonello’s The Beast is a snarling, sprawling enigma; unnerving in its foreboding atmosphere, compelling in its rich performances and elegant direction. It’s loosely inspired by Henry James’s 1903 novella The Beast In The Jungle, which is about a man who finds himself paralysed by the feeling that something terrible is going to happen to him.
