My words could never live up to Cocteau's imagery. The Beast's castle is a eerie, magical place that I can only describe as "cozily haunted". His world exists in a murky neverland, where people seem to glide and to speak louder than a whisper might break the spell and cause your doom. If you want a film that takes you someplace, here you go. Be transported.

Cocteau's choice to keep a high fidelity to the (quite Stockholm-ish) original souce begs a question about the true nature of cinema. Surely the dialogues and the narrative in general could have benefited from the hands of the poet but by keeping away from influencing the text we have here a pure masterpiece of creative filmmaking. What it lacks in narrative structure it compensates in art direction and photography. Or does it? Everytime we leave the castle we return to a kind of blandness.

Incredible early fantasy film. The characters are a little wooden and the music is overbearing, but the remarkable set and special effects make it still worth watching. A peculiar ending, though, as we never find out about the rest of the characters -- and who wouldn't want to spend a little more time in that haunted castle?

There's something about the blend of fantasy and realism in the set design and the slow and deliberate acting/camerawork that makes the film feel almost like a stage play. The fairytale stuff itself is not particularly interesting but I can appreciate the good filmmaking behind it.

Surprisingly for a fairy tale, the entire film feels very... I don't know, sad? The scenes set in the Beast's Castle and it's expressionist set design are beautifully creepy, and the entire film is overflowing with imagery, metaphor, and subtext, if you're into that sort of thing. However, the world and characters outside of the castle are very bland and uninteresting, and there's the unignorable issue of the story itself being about Stockholm syndrome and based in 18th century misogyny.

This is a beautifully told story and the fantasy especial effects are incredible charming which adds a lot to the movie. I came expecting something more mature but is not really that is a child story well told.
