Brotherhood of the Wolf- Le Pacte des Loups (2001): In
1765 something was stalking the mountains of south-western France. A 'beast'
that pounced on humans and animals with terrible ferocity. Indeed they beast
became so notorious that the King of France dispatched envoys to find out what
was happening and to kill the creature. By the end, the Beast of Gevaudan had
killed over 100 people, to this day, no one is entirely sure what it was, wolf?
hyena? or something supernatural? Whatever it was, shepherds had the same
life-expectancy as the red-suited guys in 'Star Trek'. The Beast is a popular
myth in France, albeit one rooted firmly in reality; somewhat surprisingly it is
little known to the outside world, and perhaps incredibly it has never been made
into a movie. Until now... Based on the true story of the Beast of the Gevaudan
that terrorised France in the mid-XVIIIth century, the movie aims to tell first
and explain afterwards. In the first part, a special envoy of the King of
France, altogether biologist, explorer and philosopher, arrives in the Gevaudan
region, in the mountainous central part of France. The Beast has been attacking
women and children for months and nobody has quite been able to harm it or even
take a good look at it. In the second part, our hero Chevalier de Fronsac will
not only have to fight the Beast, but also ignorance, bigotry and conspiracy and
will rely on two women, one an aristocrat, the other a prostitute, as well as
the enigmatic Mani, an Iroquois he met in New-France (Canada).
