Behemoth! 2026. USA. Written and directed by Tony Gilroy. With Pedro Pascal, Olivia Wilde, Eva Victor, Will Arnett. DCP courtesy Searchlight Pictures. 124 min.
An ode to the musicians who make our favorite films come alive, and the fraught nature of keeping your head above water as a journeyman artist, Behemoth! is both epic and intimate. Writer/director Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton, Andor) orchestrates a lushly composed film focused on the life of Alex Serian (Pedro Pascal), a renowned cellist who returns home to Los Angeles to deal with messy family matters and perhaps find a way forward professionally. Behemoth! features brilliant supporting turns from Olivia Wilde, Will Arnett, and a team of collaborating composers.
