Editorial Review:

Description:
This masterpiece by the poet of cinema, Jean Cocteau, has enchanted audiences for more than fifty years with its surreal beauty and magical visual effects. Josette Day and Jean Marais shine in the definitive filmed version of the classic romantic tale, which has come to supplant the original fable in the modern imagination. The source of the later television series, animated feature, and Broadway musical, it remains one of our greatest treasures.

Amazon.com:
Beauty and the Beast is one of the all-time great movie fantasies, and one of the most gorgeous pictures ever made. It was the first feature film by French director Jean Cocteau, a writer, poet, and painter with ties to the surrealists. (In fact, his first film, The Blood of a Poet, was delayed after the scandal caused by L'Age D'Or, made by his fellow surrealists Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali.) The haunting, surreal visuals (candelabra made of human hands, for example) and a sensitive performance by Jean Marais as the Beast imbue the film with an indelible, mythical power. --Jim Emerson

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - FAVORITE FOREIGN FILM
It's like a Fairy Tale come to life. One of the films I watch over and over.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - If they would let me, I'd give it ten stars!
I just watched my old VHS copy and ordered this immediately. I was amazed at how touched and emotional I became when watching this film which I have seen dozens of times. It works on so many levels and deepens with each viewing.

The photography is so beautiful that each frame could be literally framed and hung on a wall. My favorite scenes are Belle's tears turning to diamonds; her necklace turning into rope when she gives it to her sister, the disembodied candelabras and her turning ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Undiscovered treasure
This item arrived quickly and in good condition. I saw a few minutes of this movie on television and I had to order a copy. I usually don't like sub titles, but this movie is almost magical. I don't know why I haven't heard more about this movie.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - C'era una volta......
Jean Cocteau was one of France's greatest poets, but he also made some magnficent films. He only helmed 5 films (maybe 6) as director, but everyone bore his unmistakeable stamp. This is one of his greatest films.

It simply retells a fairy tale that we are all familiar with. We know how it ends, we know how it begins, yet, everytime you see this film, it feels fresh, beautiful, and awe inspiring. It's shot in simple black and white film (stunningly so by Henri Alekan, who also shot ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A cartoon comes to life
Don't laugh my bros. I'm still the same guy who loves my blood and gore flicks. But sometimes you gotta shake things up a bit. This adult fairy tale glides with an enchanting splendor and overwhelming grace. No seriously.

The horrors of the real world can corrupt us. As adults we try to push away the spirit of our childhood and repress all the indelible figments of our imagination. Any rekindling of our past fantasies is deemed a weakness, which is sad.

You probably know ... Read More
