Plot

Immersed in the vibrant yet enigmatic world of contemporary art, Female Human Animal unfurls a psychological drama about Chloe Aridjis, a creatively driven woman disillusioned by the drudgery of modern existence. As she steps into the role of curator for a Tate retrospective celebrating surrealist Leonora Carrington, the arrival of a mysterious and brooding character promises a tantalizing escape from her humdrum reality. Stirred by the rebellious allure of Carrington's art, Chloe embarks on a pursuit of this enigmatic figure. Yet, as she delves deeper into the realm of fixation, the lines blur between predator and prey - is she the hunter or the hunted? A bold exploration of a woman's audacious defiance of societal norms, Female Human Animal paints a vivid tableau of the darker, unseen layers of contemporary sexual politics. With the noteworthy presence of Volksbuhne's Marc Hosemann and cameo appearances by cultural luminaries such as Juliet Jacques, Marina Warner, Adam Thirlwell, Stewart Home, and Tom McCarthy, the film is a rich tapestry of artistic expression. A haunting score by Andy Cooke, complemented by fresh tracks from TEARIST and electronic music pioneers O.M.D., adds another layer of depth to the narrative. Above all, Female Human Animal stands as a tribute to its guiding feminist force, the legendary artist and writer Leonora Carrington.
