Immersive sequences that force the audience to endure uncomfortable social confrontations in real-time.
What sets As Bestas apart is Sorogoyen’s refusal to rely on cheap jump scares or melodramatic tropes. Instead, he builds a "slow-burn" dread through:
Rodrigo Sorogoyen does not shoot Galicia as a postcard. He shoots it as a labyrinth. Cinematographer Álex de Pablo uses wide shots that dwarf the human figures. The monte (the mountain bushland) is a character in itself—scratchy, flammable, and impenetrable. In the film’s most stunning sequence (the night of the murder), the camera stays static as the characters vanish into the thick fog. We hear the screams before we see the act. It is a return to classical Greek tragedy: the violence happens off-stage, but its echo is unbearable.
The film follows Antoine and Olga, a French couple who move to a small village in Galicia, Spain. They are looking for a quiet life, close to nature, rehabilitating old stone houses and living off the land. Their neighbors, the brothers Xan and Lorenzo, see things differently. They view the land as a resource to be exploited—selling out to a wind turbine company—and they view the newcomers as a threat to their way of life.
