Brotherhood of the Wolf | ||
Fantasy Martial Arts |
Extraordinary, exciting & extremely cool Maxim Combining breathtaking and nail-biting action sequences, lush production values, high-flying martial arts, gloriously atmospheric photography, stunning costumes, a superb cast and special effects courtesy of Jim Hensons Creature Shop, it is little wonder that Brotherhood Of the Wolf has been such an international smash. Based on the true story of The Beast of Gevaudan, which terrorised the French countryside in the early summer of 1764. For two years a mysterious beast has been killing scores of women and children in the Gevaudan region of France. With the whole country shaken by these inexplicable killings, the King decides to send scientist Grgoire de Fronsac (Samuel Le Bihan) and his taciturn Mohawk companion and martial arts expert Mani (Mark Dacascos: The Crow: Stairway To Heaven), to investigate. The two are housed at the estate of the Marquis d'Apcher (Hans Meyer) whose grandson, Thomas (Jrmie Rnier), will serve as their guide. Later, at a dinner given in his honour, Fronsac meets Jean-Franois de Morangias (Vincent Cassel: The Reckoning', Birthday Girl, Shrek), a one-armed aristocrat, and his ravishing sister Marianne (Emilie Dequenne), to whom he is instantly attracted. After an unsuccessful hunt produces many an innocent wolf but no beast, the men visit the local brothel and Fronsacs love life becomes increasingly complicated when he meets the mysterious Sylvia (Monica Bellucci: 'The Matrix Reloaded, Under Suspicion). As time passes and winter arrives with more killings, an increasingly impatient King dispatches his own lieutenant to the region. No sooner does Beauterne (Johan Leysen) arrive, than he captures a wolf, claiming that he has killed the Beast. Under the order of the King, Fronsac is forced to participate in this charade before being allowed to return to Paris. Disobeying the Kings mandate not to return to Gevaudan, Fronsac pledges to organise one last hunt, this time lead by Mani using ancient shaman techniques. Nothing however can prepare them for what they discover... Release Date: 23 September 2002 | | ||||
