Really bizarre, I've read the book.


I had to read the English translation of Le belle bete, Mad Shadows, in English class and let me tell you - this is one messed up piece of literature. I've read some really out-there things in my life, but this was by far the strangest book I've ever read. It had a continuoulsy downbeat plot, and really strange things happen.

That being said.. I'm actually really excited for the film!

Agreed, the strangeness of the book totally enthralled me. I hope the film lives up to the book.
I think it will since Marie Claire Blais (author of the book)herself wrote the script.

Can't wait to see it!

Anyone else think the casting choices for the movie are a little weird? Isabelle-Marie is supposed to be hideously ugly. From the trailer I see that they made Caroline Dhavernas look kind of pale and washed out but I don't see her as anywhere near hideous.

She has no makeup

She's really evil.. She's so messed up. Believe me.. she's ugly..
