Clara Van Gool's The Beast in the Jungle is showing January 30 –February 28, 2020 on Mubi in most countries as part of the series Direct from Rotterdam.When I read The Beast in the Jungle by Henry James for the first time I was deeply moved, but there was also something elusive about it. Precisely this poetic mixture intrigued me, the novella is pure, impressionistic, but also psychological with a hint of gothic.

Variety has been given exclusive access to the international trailer for Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Clara van Gool’s “The Beast in the Jungle,” which world premieres at the 48th Rotterdam Film Festival.
The English-language dance-based romantic drama, adapted from Henry James’ 1903 novella, will play in Rotterdam’s Limelight section. The film, starring South African choreographer-dancer Dane Jeremy Hurst and Irish dancer Sarah Reynolds, was written by Van Gool alongside British author and poet Glyn Maxwell.
The movie depicts “the mysterious and epic love story” of John Marcher and May Bartram, according to a statement. Van Gool, who won the Emmy Award for performing arts for “Enter Achilles,” described it as “an unconventional love story about a man obsessed with a premonition that he is destined to experience, something great, mind-blowing even, and a woman who decides to wait with him for this to happen.”
The movie, which is being sold by Picture Tree Intl.
