Behemoth!

GALA SCREENING

Pedro Pascal plays a cellist in the film Behemoth, looking intently at his instrument.

In the latest from writer-director Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton), Pedro Pascal delivers his grandest performance to date as Alex, a gifted cellist who returns home to Los Angeles after twenty year on the road.

Finding work recording film scores, he immerses himself in every project, and long-held memories begin to resurface. As he reconciles with his past, Alex comes to terms with loves old and new, and reckons with his decision to flee not just LA, but the people closest to him. An ode to music’s power to heal and renew, Behemoth! is a testament to the arts and its practitioners, to cinema, and to living a life fully realized.
