Too Many Beasts

In the French countryside, wild boars ravaging crops spark an open war between farmers and members of a gentlemen’s hunting club, who feed the game between hunts.

Brun, a bankrupt farmer, struggles to keep his farm afloat. When the club’s president pushes him to his limits, Brun shoots him and disappears. A year later, Fulda, a volatile police officer just transferred to the region, leads the investigation. Still struggling after a recent breakup, and as wild boars proliferate across the region, he is pushed to the brink of sanity.

The Mill is proud to have contributed to Sarah Arnold’s latest film, awarded the Cineuropa Prize at the Cannes Film Festival this May, following its selection for the Directors’ Fortnight, alongside production company 5 à 7.

Our teams delivered 35 VFX shots for the project, including the creation of CG animals, supporting the film’s visual storytelling through a seamless post-production image approach. The visual effects were supervised by Laurent Creusot and produced by Loriane Lucas.
