Pedro Pascal presents 'Behemoth!' at New York Film Festival, a film requiring him to learn the cello

At the New York Film Festival on Friday, Chilean actor Pedro Pascal presented his new film 'Behemoth!', directed by Tony Gilroy. During a press conference at the Lincoln Center, Pascal described the film as a puzzle due to its unconventional, time-jumping script. He revealed that he learned to play the cello for the role, calling it the most difficult creative challenge of his life. Director Gilroy, a former guitarist, said the film explores the world of film score recording sessions. The film had its world premiere later that evening.
