Anyway, last night I rewatched
La Belle et la Bete |
I saw this once, quite a long time ago now, and thought it was absolutely astonishing for a film from 1946 ('47?). I don't remember much, but the imagery and the overall tone stuck with me. I must see it again now. Thanks for mentioning this.
I actually went looking for this a couple years ago, and was sidetracked by a 2014 remake starring Vincent Cassel (who I love, and who would make an excellent Joker, by the way). I rented it, and wasn't completely disappointed. It's nowhere near as good as Cocteau's by any stretch of the imagination, but it's sure to be better than the Disney live-action Beauty & the Beast remake that's coming out this year (ughck).
Its French, and again, it has Vincent Cassel, so I'd probably recommend it just for kicks. Here's a trailer if you're interested:
