The Beast of Gévaudan operates within the conventional constraints of a historical period drama. Its narrative structure is tied to 18th-century social hierarchies, focusing on established legends and romantic clichés rather than identity-driven subversion. The film lacks evidence of diverse representation or the disruption of systemic hierarchies. Instead, it adheres to the traditional storytelling structures found in European television cinema of its era. Ultimately, the production reflects a homogeneous cultural perspective, prioritizing historical accuracy and romanticized aesthetics over modern diversity standards.
