Music is the tissue that connects us to the world, each other, and ourselves. And in Behemoth!, it’s not merely the profession of cellist Alex Serian (Pedro Pascal), but the way Tony Gilroy draws us into his tale.
Led by the most nuanced and soulful work of Pedro Pascal’s career, this film about a man navigating a life of glorious melodies and squandered opportunities is a cinematic concerto the viewer sinks into—euphorically, sadly, deeply.
Making its world premiere as the Centerpiece selection of the New York Film Festival (and debuting in theaters Dec. 4), Behemoth! is the Oscar-nominated Gilroy’s first official behind-the-camera feature since 2012’s The Bourne Legacy. He’s remained busy in the interim, most notably by ghost-helming 2016’s Rogue One and, to great acclaim, creating and show-running Disney+’s Andor.
