In the Belly: Tom and Sam McKeith's Beast

Largely a story of redemption, Beast recounts a boxer's attempt to atone for his accidental killing of a competitor during a bout. With its Philippine setting, co-production status, and largely non-professional cast and crew, the feature debut of the McKeith brothers is in a cinematic league of its own, writes Nicholas Godfrey.
