Beauty and The Beast (The Criterion Collection) Summary 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.

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
