In 1765 something was stalking the mountains of central 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 terrorized 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).
In 18th century France, the Chevalier de Fronsac and his native American friend Mani are sent by the King to the Gevaudan province to investigate the killings of hundreds by a mysterious beast.
This kind of movie has not been produced in France for ages, and, in that regard, came as a surprise (along with similarly realised Vidocq). Effortlessly, it intertwines genres that normally seem mutually exclusive; it is, thus, a period picture, which is also an action movie, not to mention a suspenseful thriller. And it can pull all this off. What captures the eye first, is the stunning photography, reminiscent of many a Tim Burton film, with a hint of Merchant Ivory. In this picturesque French countryside, a horrible and mysterious beast kills peasants by the dozen. Enter an equally mysterious gentleman and his exotic friend, envoys of the current King of France (Louis XVI?). The enlightened man from the capital finds himself in a close-knit society, full of dark undercurrents - typical of rural areas the world over. Soon it becomes obvious that some people in the lordly manor know something or other about the beast, even though they stubbornly insist it is a wolf. Of course, we learned from Sleepy Hollow that every supernatural scourge must have a master in the world of the living... A sense of danger permeates the atmosphere when the otherworldly shadow of the beast appears in the background, but even more so when some of the very much flesh-and-blood characters enter a scene.
Among the many people with hidden agendas, Monica Bellucci's Sylvia shines in the most enigmatic role of the story; even though it is quite clear from the beginning that she is no simple prostitute, you probably won't guess until the very end what her real involvement amounts to.
And so we follow the many twists and turns of the plot, some of them expected, some far from it - including one near the end that looks very final. In spite of its considerable running time (142 minutes), the pace of the movie never slackens. The showdown is a rather bloody spectacle, but it does tie up all loose ends. In one last twist, the narrator reveals himself and his ultimate fate, as if to remind us of the historical context of the legend.
O.K. Apparently the premise for Brotherhood has some basis in fact. The characters named actually existed during the period the movie is set when a mysterious "beast" terrorized the French countryside. I must say, half of me loved this movie. The style and feel is cool. O.k, I admit, way cool. From the fight scenes in the pouring rain, to the whipsaw martial arts, to Monica Belucci naked. Not totally naked but M.B. half naked is worth more than three women buck nekked and touching their toes. I won't go into the plot because I don't like to deal with spoilers and because other reviewers already have, and because I'm lazy. What I will comment on are the details. This is where the other half of me went berserk over the ludicrisosity (I figured this movie needed its own word). I mean come on! An Iroquois Indian of Hawaii-Fillipino descent? Who is a master of Chinese Kung-Fu? Marauding gangs of psychotic gypsies? Dressed in their best Grizzly Adams come Mad Max furs? I mean, it is stupid, but yet, it looks cool so it works. Then the plot. See, they could have done the cool "this is stupid but cool" thing or the "somewhat historically based mystery with gratuitous naked Monica Belucci" but not both at the same time. It is hard to buy into the historical markers of the plot, if not the story itself, when a Lou Diamond Phillips look-a-like is going tiger-claw ass kicking on an 18th century French Wild Bunch. And, contrary to a previous review, at the time of the film (c.1765) the French had been in the New World for over a hundred years and wouldn't have been so incredulous at the sight of an American Indian (Pocohantas had toured England, gone home, and been stone cold dead for years before this movie takes place). On the other hand, oh who am I kidding? It's silly. Come on Frenchies, lack of historical understanding coupled with cartoon violence and a total disregard for comprehension is the purview of American cinema. But hey, what are you gonna do? So when the action sags (it does), and the plot becomes unbearable (it will), and the $6.50 40.oz Coke is on the fast track to saturating the fly of your Dockers (it is inevitable) you will at least have had the satisfaction of ogling Monica Belucci amidst one of the best choreographed ass kicking flicks committed to celluloid.
If only Brotherhood of the Wolf had the wit and grace to match its exceptional physical beauty.
Brotherhood of the Wolf is based on a screenplay written by French film-maker Christophe Gans (who also directed the movie) and screenwriter Stéphane Cabel. Gans and Cabel took details for their story from a nonfiction reference book, La bête du Gévaudan: L'innocence des loups ("The Beast of Gévaudan: The Innocence of Wolves") (2001) by French zoologist Michel Louis, who described a series of killings that took place in France in the mid-18th century by a beast known as the Beast of Gévaudan. Brotherhood of the Wolf is an attempt to explain the three-year reign of terror caused by a real Beast (or Beasts) of Gévaudan, a former province in the Margeride Mountains in south-central France. During the years from 1764 to 1767, an unknown animal resembling a large wolf (according to the descriptions of those who saw it and lived to tell) killed over 100 people and wounded some 100 others. The Beast was never caught nor was it ever identified. The movie gives a fictionalized account of a secret organization conspiring to bring down the authority of King Louis XV of France by the use of a large beast brought back from Africa by one of its members. The Beast of Gévaudan has become a topic of much interest to cryptozoologists (those who study imaginary or fabled creatures such as the Loch Ness monster or bigfoot). An artist's conception of one of the Beasts shown here is taken from an 18th-century engraving by A.F. of Alençon. The opening and closing scenes take place during the French Revolution [1789-1799], but the majority of the movie takes place some 20 years earlier, during the three years that the Beast of Gévaudan was doing its killing [1764-1767].Only when it's wearing armor does the audience see the CGI beast. There are some shots of Fronsac looking into the beast's yellow eyes. The fur around its eyes is visible, but there not enough of it to tell what kind of animal it might be. The director has mentioned that it was meant to be a lion. The narrator is the old Marquis Thomas D'Apcher (Hans Meyer). It's unknown how many of Mark Dacascos's fight scenes were filmed with him or a double doing the fighting. As a world renown martial artist, holding first place in a number of karate championships, chances are high that Dacascos did most of his own stunts, with the exception (perhaps) of stunts that might have resulted in injury to him. Suffice to say that the fight scenes were choreographed, and who better to portray Mani in fight mode than Dacascos himself? Jean-François (Vincent Cassel) explains to Grégoire de Fronsac (Samuel Le Bihan) that he was injured by a lion and that his arm became infected with gangrene.Fronsac explains to young Thomas D'Apcher (Jérémie Renier) that the French army distributed linen infected with disease to the native Indian tribes. Considering it a gift, the Indians used them, got sick, and died. The army then came in and wiped out anyone more or less standing. "Civilized tactics" is what they called it. Aristocrats with money or power were targeted during the French Revolution. Even King Louis XVI was guillotined in 1793. His wife, Marie Antoinette, suffered the same fate nine months later. The real Marquis d'Apcher is said to have been spared when his subjects actually stood up in his favor. The story reverts back to its narration by the Marquis d'Apcher during the French Revolution. As his time draws to a close, d'Apcher describes how he and Fronsac found the beast in its lair dying of its wounds. Fronsac kills the beast in order to put it out of its misery. The keeper explains how Jean-François brought a "strange beast" back with him from Africa, then raised it to be a vicious killer and dressed it in a suit of armor to make it look more frightening. D'Apcher then tells that Fronsac invited him to go to Africa, but he chose to stay behind and rebuild his province. As he is led from his house into the crowds clamoring for his head, d'Apcher says that he doesn't know what became of Fronsac and Marianne but hopes that they are living their lives together far away from Gévaudan. In the final scenes, Marianne and Fronsac are shown standing on the deck of a schooner. Fronsac is releasing Mani's ashes into the water. The schooner sails away into the night. The Director's Cut features two prolonged story sequences showing some more background information of Grégoire de Fronsac. This adds up to a total difference of approx. 8 minutes. a5c7b9f00b
