| | Brotherhood of the WolfSynopsis: Inspired by actual events taking place during the reign of King Louis XV in 1765, THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF revisits one of the rare French myths, that of the "Beast of Gevaudan" which killed a number of persons before being vanquished under mysterious circumstances. During the reign of Louis XV, a mysterious creature is laying waste to the countryside in a rural province of France, savagely killing scores of women and children. Unseen, possessed of enormous strength and a seemingly near-human intelligence, the beast has eluded capture for years. Desperate to end the growing unrest of the populace, the King sends in a renowned scientist and his Iroquois blood brother, an unconventional team whose combined methods and capabilities may finally bring the beast down. "...a glitzy, gorgeous, stylistically flamboyant adventure spun around an at times absurd plot with mystical flourishes."—Sean Axmaker, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER. Casts: Samuel Le Bihan, Vincent Cassel, Emilie Dequenne, Monica Bellucci, Mark Dacascos Duration : 135 minutes
