The Beast Asleep

About This Movie

The Beast Asleep is this quirky little film that juggles comedy and romance in a rather unique setting. So, you've got this strange backdrop where humanity’s on the brink, and mating has become a relic of the past. The pacing has this offbeat rhythm that strangely mirrors the characters' awkward journey towards connection. Varsanouphios and Ploumi, through an arranged marriage, stumble into love, and there’s something charmingly raw about their performances. It’s not your conventional love story, which is refreshing, really. The practical effects, while not over-the-top, add a layer of authenticity to the glimpses of this odd world. The film definitely has its own vibe, and it leans into the absurdity of its premise with a light touch, making it a curious watch.

Interesting exploration of arranged marriage dynamics. · Unique mix of comedy and romance in a dystopian setting. · Characters’ chemistry feels genuine despite odd circumstances.
