Le Belle et la Bete
Once upon a time, in a world of magic and wonder, the true love of a beautiful girl may finally dispel the torment of a feral but gentle-hearted beast. Beauty And The Beast is a landmark feat of cinematic fantasy, in which master filmmaker Jean Cocteau conjures spectacular visions of enchantment, desire, and death that has never been equaled. The Criterion Collection proudly presents the original film version of the fairytale. Newly restored in a spectacular special edition.
