About Die Bestie
Moscow in the 1920s. A film about the pogroms in southern Russia is being made in a studio. The name of the notorious tsarist governor Muratov, also known as "The Beast", symbolizes the crimes of the time. During filming, an old, decrepit man comes forward who wants to be in the movie because of his resemblance to Muratov. Could it be possible that this man is the real Muratov? Everyone is so preoccupied with the realization of the material that this incident remains hidden. As artists, everyone has their own visions - which often bypass reality ...
Directed by Margot Thyret, Die Bestie leans on a strong ensemble — Ekkehard Schall, Jaecki Schwarz, Martin Seifert — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1988.
