Works that laid the foundation Prestige of Rodrigo Sorogoyen – ‘God forgive us’, ‘Kingdom’, ‘Anti-Rebellion’ – had an urban setting, and what happened in a big city conditioned the characters’ experiences in a commendable way. ‘Mother’ escaped from the center of the city, but the dramatic tension of this movie was different from the aforementioned titles. ‘As bestas’ is already a directly rural filmSet in a small town in Galicia and with tensions, without belonging to ‘tension’shows paroxysmal violence similar to what the director deals with in his proposals within the genre.
One possible model for ‘As bestas’ is Sam Peckinpah’s film ‘Hay Dogs’, in which an ‘alien’ couple from the urban center reproduces the relationship they maintain with the inhabitants of a small rural community. The sexual tension implicit in the character of Susan George in Peckinpah’s film has no place in Sorogoyen’s film, it is much more interesting. explore cultural roots and cracks: A French couple (Marina Foïs and Denis Ménochet) collides with a neighboring family led by something akin to a village guru (Luis Zahera), and the conflict leads to an epidermal conflict in which Sorogoyen’s contrasting visual power overpowers some flimsy force. aspects of the scenario. Predictable things happen, but the success and relevance of ‘As bestas’ depends on how and in what way the one and the other is drawn. suffocating voltage without resorting to a single impact pulse.
