Beauty and the Beast

Movie

French
Drama, Fantasy, Romance
The story of a gentle-hearted beast in love with a simple and beautiful girl. She is drawn to the repellent but strangely fascinating Beast, who tests her fidelity by giving her a key, telling her that if she doesn't return it to him by a specific time, he will die of grief. She is unable to return the key on time, but it is revealed that the Beast is the genuinely handsome one. A simple tale of tragic love that turns into a surreal vision of death, desire, and beauty.

Astounding and ethereal. What it lacks in charismatic characters it more than makes up for with beautiful and rich special effects that envelop the film in atmosphere to die for. Beast's makeup is so ahead of its time, and there are a handful of indelible images that will stick with me for a long time.
