Tristan and Connie’s dilemma is nothing compared with the issues plaguing the couple at the heart of Bertrand Bonello’s new film, “The Beast” (in limited release starting April 5), a tripartite romance spanning Belle Époque France, twenty-tens California, and a placeless, dystopian future. The story opens in the year 2044, where Gabrielle (Léa Seydoux, in a knockout performance) has elected to undergo an operation that will excise pesky human emotions, helping her to keep pace with A.I. counterparts in the workforce. A nonsensical premise—the procedure involves “purifying” her DNA by dredging up memories from past lives—yields an utterly unique, unexpectedly affecting drama. In every time line, Gabrielle meets a version of Louis (George MacKay), turning the treatment into a double-edged sword: the more she sees of their seemingly cosmic bond, the less certain she is that she wants to cut herself off from it.
