Trailer

Why watch this film?

The seventh feature film by the Quebec experimental filmmaker Denis Côté ("Drifting States," "Carcasses"), which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was screened at other prestigious festivals such as Berlin and Toronto, "Bestiario" is an experimental, contemplative documentary that through its images and minimal words invites us to reflect on the dichotomy between humans and animals, in which the former usually proclaims itself master and lord of the latter. Is this really the natural order of things? The approach of the movie may be challenging, but it is certainly a question worth reflecting on.

Plot summary

Along the rhythm of the seasons, beasts and humans regard each other. 'Bestiary' unfolds like a picture book about mutual observation. A contemplation of a stable imbalance, and of loose, tranquil and indefinable elements.
