Negative Positive
Title: Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast
Review: The premise of this French fairy tale will be familiar to anyone who's seen the wildly successful and (on its own terms) worthy Disney feature, but this original version by director Jean Cocteau is a more subtle, bewitching and artful rendering of the story. Magic, menace, fantasy and wonder are created through make-up, lighting, and sheer ingenuity of conception. The result is a work of genius, a stunning and surreal masterpiece sure to captivate the child in us all.
