The Animal Kingdom

France 2023 | 128 minutes | French | Hebrew subtitles

France, the near future. The world is hit by a wave of mutations transforming humans into animals. François and his son Emile flee Paris to be closer to his wife, who has turned into a werewolf and is detained in a quarantine facility in the south of the country. When the mutants escape to the woods, a conflict arises among the humans on how to handle the new creatures. One of the biggest hits of French cinema of the last year, The Animal Kingdom, uses this plot to translate questions of tolerance, identity, and belonging into a gripping drama.
