Synopsis

Heartbroken, grieving, and tormented by visions of his hero's death, Mickey Sharpe finds himself stuck in the middle of two opposing gangs as he tries desperately to finish the exposing documentary his best friend died trying to finish.
Behind the antics and actions played out between our four main friends and the gangsters and criminals they encounter along the way, is a suggestion of the difficulties and questions that young adults face today in work, in love, and in preparing for life in the future. The prospect of being able to afford to raise a family, of owning one's own home, or even getting a job with a half-decent salary to start with looks vanishingly small these days - Perhaps crime appears to offer a more achievable route to affording such basic ideals...
This is a poignant look at some of the challenges and dilemmas that our modern society has created for the younger generations. Are we making a brighter future for our children or are we actually making life tougher?

Synopsis

CREATURE is an intense, visceral and disturbing film directed by Academy Award winner Asif Kapadia (AMY) in a ground breaking, genre busting collaboration with Lawrence Olivier Award winning choreographer Akram Khan.
In a dilapidated former Arctic research station, the Creature has been unknowingly enlisted by a military brigade into a bold new experimental programme. He is being tested and experimented on by a zealous Doctor, overseen by the sensitive Captain, for his mental and physical ability to adapt to extreme cold, isolation and homesickness; all vital qualities in mankind’s proposed colonisation of the ‘final frontiers’ on earth and beyond.
When Creature meets and falls in love with Marie, a cleaner who shows him kindness and compassion, he sees a glimmer of hope. Together they dream of escape.
But the remorseless Army is led by the arrogant, violent Major who becomes obsessed with Marie and offers her passage from the doomed planet. As Marie finds herself caught between the two men, Creature begins to lose his grasp on reality with tragic consequences.
CREATURE is a beautiful, tragic tale of an outsider’s search for belonging, the insatiable desires of the powerful and the enduring hope found in human connection and compassion.
