Two women, one older, sit closely together in a dimly lit room. The younger woman wears blue and her hair down, sadly speaking as the older woman in a brown blouse holds a drink and listens.

Gentle Monster

From director and writer Marie Kreutzer (Corsage), Gentle Monster tells the story of concert pianist Lucy (Léa Seydoux), who has just relocated her family to a country house hoping to ease her husband Philip’s (Laurence Rupp) severe burnout. Before they have a chance to set up their new home, an early-morning police visit tears their life apart. Trapped between the man she loves and the fear of what he might have done, Lucy must face the situation alone as her world unravels.

With a cast that includes Jella Haase and legendary Academy Award nominee Catherine Deneuve, Gentle Monster asks what we do when someone we love turns out to be someone we never really knew.
