Holy Beasts

About This Movie

Holy Beasts is a fascinating exploration of creativity and the haunting nature of unfinished work. It’s textured with a dreamlike atmosphere, almost like a waking dream itself. The pacing is deliberate, which allows you to sink into the layers of the protagonist’s psyche as she wrestles with the ghost of Jean-Louis Jorge. The performances feel intimate, almost like eavesdropping on a private journey. There's something distinctive about the way practical effects are used to evoke a sense of nostalgia and dislocation; it’s not flashy but serves the narrative well. It’s a film that lingers, much like the unfinished projects it reflects on, a meditation on artistic ambition that feels both personal and universal.
