Synopsis

La bête dans la jungle, a free adaptation of Henry James' novella The Beast in the Jungle, tells the story of a dizzying 'huis clos': in an enormous nightclub, a man and a woman spend twenty-five years lying in wait for a mysterious event. From 1979 to 2004, from disco to techno, this is a story of love, a story of obsession. The 'thing' will finally reveal itself, but in a much more tragic way than expected.
