Dark Dream Cinema is a monthly film series devoted to the creeping undercurrents of the arthouse scene, hosted by Michael Morlaine

“La Belle et la Bête is full of wonder and mystery. It’s cinema’s ultimate love story, dressed up as a monster.” Xan Brooks, The Guardian

Billowing curtains, sepulchral excursions, and wall-mounted living flambeaux: The images of Beauty and the Beast (La Belle et La Bête) remain the standard for visual poetry in the realm of cinematic fantasy. To relate the tale of beauty and the beast, director Jean Cocteau utilized soaring black-and-white photography to the utmost degree, breathing wondrous life into impossible sights. Timeless and haunting, Cocteau’s vision transforms the screen into a magic window, full of glimmering shadows that dance between slivers of moonlight.
