Overview

Forced to face the cruel side of life, a devastated, bankrupt merchant chances upon the enchanted castle of a hideous creature, the mere sight of it chills the bone to the marrow. There, a fate worse than death awaits the poor father-of-six, who, after plucking a sweet-scented rose from the repulsive master’s verdant garden, must do the impossible: permit his compassionate daughter, Belle, to take his place and pay for the sins of her parent. Now, an impenetrable mystery shrouds the haunted mansion, and, as repugnance gradually turns into affection, only true love could break the spell.

Viewing Notes

Wow. I knew I’d like this movie but didn’t expect to love it so much. Such visual feast and so gorgeous on the big screen. Glad that Shout Factory picked this up bc I’m totally buying it. Very much my kind of fantasy adventure. The CG gets a little wonky towards the end (as if they ran out of money) but still doesn’t take away the beautiful scenery and story. I love Cassel and he’s perfect in this role as the Beast. Lea Seydoux is very good too.

It was like being a child again and being amazed by a movie.
