Beast

2018 · 7 min

A quiet, unsettling drift into one man's unraveling, where stillness and color slowly give way to something fragile and violent.

Directed by: Marie Chalandre
Genres: Animation

Overview: A lonely fisherman's wait. Over the horizon against the expanse of the sea, time passes. Something gradually overwhelms the waiting man. We then discover that he's unstable, fragile and sadly violent. As he suffocates from within, colors appear on his skin. And then everything comes to a halt : a woman arrives like an apparition in the water.
