This is a stunning film for the eyes and senses. The black and white photography is so beautiful that I'm sorry more films are not made with black and white. The images alone could stand alone and framed and I would be hard pressed to name my favorite moments: the candelabras in the hall with the eyes following Belle; the moment when the Beast carries her over the threshold and you can see the transformation as she changes from poor farm girl to an elegant princess. Marais was wonderful as the Beast; he could break your heart but I agree with an earlier poster that he looked too much like the prince. But that's a minor detail and this ageless story about love, greed, jealousy and redemption.
I think I'll watch it tonight.
