Barnes & Noble
Jean Cocteau's most popular film, this 1946 masterpiece is perhaps the most faithful of the many film versions of the 1756 fairy tale written by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont. Though the ending is a bit on the strange side -- the Beast morphs into a prince who looks exactly like Belle's hapless suitor, and her disappointment is unmistakable -- the film features tight, economical storytelling and enough visual fireworks including many stunningly executed optical effects to enrapture viewers from beginning to end. The actors are uniformly wonderful: Josette Day makes a stunning Belle, and Cocteau regular Jean Marais excels in a triple role that includes the magnificent Beast. The real stars of the film, though, are Cocteau himself, who gives the film a shimmering, romantic look, and the brilliant costume and set design. The Beast's make-up, in particular, works beautifully; it's just realistic enough to be convincing, while allowing Marais to emote through his eyes and subtle facial tics. The unforgettable sets, which include human arm candelabras and moving statues, are a marvel of impressionistic romanticism, filled with symbolism that hints at the story's darker implications. Forget Disney -- this is the closest anyone's come to capturing the essence of a fairy tale on film. Mark Pittillo

    A Real Beauty

    Stunning cinematography, and absolutely true to the original story. An essential addition to any serious film collection.

    A Work of ART

    This movie is so beautiful it's hard to describe. Inventive, artistic, flowing, majestic. This treasure was made over 60 years ago but makes the most of special effects to completely engage the audience. They aren't blatent either. You have to pay attention to the carvings on the fireplace and statues. Notice the way the beast's ears move (like a hunter) when he hears an animal in the wood. I don't want to give away other surprises because it would ruin the experience. Watching it, I felt like I was looking at a beautiful painting, seeing a lovely ballet, and being mezmerized by a great movie. I know my comments sound silly, but you have to see it. I did see it many years ago and recently rented it. The years haven't diminished the experience. I love movies and have eclectic taste. This is a treasure of the art house movies.

    Just between one Beastlord to another.......

    Now it comes to it. They beat the beast and made him angry and hardened his heart to the core. Now he seeks retibution and vengeance assuring that the master breathes no more. No those are my lyrics. Anyway this is still a great classic film from the golden era of cinema. It is worth watching just for that reason. Like Kubrick's Barry Lyndon. It is a study in film noir lighting techniques on silvertone. It is actually rather good and entertaining. I might have been scared back in those days by the special effects..hough houwgh houwgh... Well okay but still it's entertaining well and good enough. Ye who be the true Beastlord, he hath stood and he hath spake upon the matter. As for the Slavedragon he shalt leave his own sordid epic details to the self evidency of his be blackened surroundings at happenstance.
