Writer-director Marie Kreutzer (CORSAGE, HIFF 2022) tells the story of concert pianist Lucy (Léa Seydoux), who has just relocated her family to a country house hoping to ease her husband Philip’s (Laurence Rupp) severe burnout. Before they have a chance to set up their new home, an early morning police visit tears their life apart. Trapped between the man she loves and the fear of what he may have done, Lucy must face the situation alone as her world unravels. Facing disturbing truths with an unflinching gaze, GENTLE MONSTER asks what we do when someone we love turns out to be someone we never really knew. A Netflix release.
