No Such Thing (2001)

10_No_Such_Thing

There is a Monster who lives at the northern-most edge of the world. He is a foul-mouthed and bad tempered bastard with claws. He doesn’t remember when he came into existence and he’s been driven to insomnia and heavy drinking by humanity’s evolution into the information age. His pain increases in direct proportion to humanity’s ability to talk incessantly. What will become of him? As far as he can tell, he’ll live forever. He wants to die, but can’t. He’s indestructible. It’s not his fault.

Before long, he meets Beatrice, a 22-year-old junior assistant girl Friday at a sensationalistic TV news program. The world finds it easy to accept a Monster who eats people and is impervious even to nuclear radiation? as long as he stays entertaining. But a person as straightforward, honest, and unselfish as Beatrice is a miracle of an entirely different order.
