BEAUTY AND THE BEAST - JEAN COCTEAU

Directed by Jean Cocteau
France, 1946, 1h 33min, DCP, In French with English Subtitles.

“One of the most magical of all films.”
—Roger Ebert

“A self-conscious but never precious attempt to revisit childhood fantasies and half-remembered dreams.”
—Time Out

We throw the term “magic” around quite a lot in relation to cinema. Jean Cocteau’s fairy tale adaptation really earns the descriptor with its filigree of silvery tones and its gorgeously surreal love story. This is poetry on celluloid.
