4 stars Classic Borowczyk
My only problem with this comprehensive release is that the master used for the completely uncut version is a Dutch master with Dutch and English subs going on at the same time. The English subs already obscure the picture without the Dutch ones as well.

4 stars 70's Borowczyk if you like
Good screenplay, good and famous actors (and especially beatiful A.), typical movie of Walerian Borowczyk in 75.

LA HISTORIA Walerian Borowczyk (Alias: BORO): Director polaco de la corriente Erótica caracterizado por trabajar bajo un formato extravagante, oscuro y a la vez sincero por decirlo de alguna forma. En este caso en particular nos referiremos a su más controversial largometraje, La Bête (a.k.a. The Beast, La Bestia). Basado en el cuento “La Bella y la Bestia” de J.M. Leprince de Beaumont (Francia, 1711-1780), Borowczyk genera una fábula erótica en el cual da a luz todos los aspectos sexuales desvirtuados que pueden florecer de una relación amorosa llevada acabo por una doncella (Romilda de l'Esperance) del siglo 18 y una bestia (cuerpo de oso y cabeza de lobo) que habita el frondoso jardín de su château (castillo). En todo caso, la película transcurre 200 años después de los zoofílicos eventos protagonizados por Romilda de l’Esperance y el bicho en cuestión, cuando una joven llamada Lucy Broadhurst (Lisbeth Hummel) llega al castillo para casarse con su prometido Mathurin de l'Esperance (nuevo habitante del château). Desde el primer momento en que Lucy pisa la finca donde el château se levanta, comienza a despertar en ella cierta curiosidad y atracción sexual por los animales, hecho que se acentúa cada vez mas a medida que transcurre el Film. La película toma su verdadero color cuando Lucy, además de su patente atracción por el reino animal, comienza a tener reiterados sueños netamente vinculados con los acontecimientos ocurridos a Romilda hace ya 200 años. IMAGEN y FOTOGRAFíA 1.66:1 - Widescreen El transfer a DVD no es muy bueno, aunque cabe destacar que los colores ROJO y VERDE son extremadamente brillantes y eso le da un efecto visual muy bello cuando se mezclan con colores como el negro y el celeste (que en este caso son muy opacos y gastados). Tiene una fotografía hermosa y muy detallista a la hora de hacer close-ups con objeto de conceptuar ideas. AUDIO y MúSICA Mono La música pertenece al compositor Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757), desgraciadamente, desconozco el nombre de la obra para clavicordio que se ocupa en la escena de la persecución por el bosque del château, pero es un hecho de que dicha obra calza de manera perfecta y a su vez jocosa con la escena.

Youth gangs took over the slums of Rio de Janiero during the 1960s and didn't relinquish their stronghold until the mid-1980s. Only a sucker wouldn't have turned to crime and this is exactly how naive teen Rocket (Alexandre Rodrigues) views himself. His attempts in illegal activity fail as he finds potential victims too friendly. Equally unsuccessful in love, he regularly fails to lose his virginity. Blood spills throughout the streets of the Ciudad de Deus as gang leader Li'l Ze (Leandro Firmino da Hora) is challenged by local druglords and a gang of pre-teens known as the Runts. Rocket shoots all of this action with his weapon of choice, a camera. Director Fernando Meirelles combines visual flashiness with dark history in telling the story of three decades of unrest in underground Rio de Janiero. Technically flawless, the Brazilian film uses a rapid-cutting style to flash back and forth in time. Cinematographer Cesar Charlone shoots with an overexposed glow in a film that may seem numb to violence, but reveres photography. Director Meirelles was assisted by Katia Lund, a filmmaker who ...

Director John Boorman's harrowing adaptation of James Dickey's best-selling novel is a nightmarish descent into backwoods Americana. When four unsuspecting urbanites head into the mountains of northern Georgia for a weekend canoe trip, they have no idea what's in store for them. The group's macho leader, Lewis Medlock (Burt Reynolds), is driven by Hemingway-esque notions of man's ability to conquer nature, while his three friends--Bobby Trippe (Ned Beatty), Drew Ballinger (Ronny Cox), and Ed Gentry (Jon Voight)--aren't so sure. As the men begin to navigate their way down the precarious rapids, they discover that nature isn't the only one out to get them. The eventual appearance of two menacing hillbillies turns the vacation into an all-out nightmare. Photographed by the great Vilmos Zsigmond (MCCABE & MRS. MILLER, THE DEER HUNTER), DELIVERANCE is a compelling meditation on the dangers of masculine ritual. Reynolds dives headlong into the role that would make him a superstar, as does Beatty, whose legendary big-screen debut will never be forgotten. Boorman's thriller made two other lasting contributions to the pop-culture lexicon: the dueling-banjos sequence and the infamous line, "Squeal like a pig!" In the unfamiliar Appalachian backwoods, a weekend of male bonding for four inexperienced campers turns into a gut-wrenching fight for survival against the merciless forces of nature and the brutality ...

Conceived and executed in much the same visual manner as his ultra-popular ROMEO AND JULIET (1968), Franco Zeffirelli's BROTHER SUN SISTER MOON attempts to draw parallels between the work and philosophy of St. Francis and the ideology that underpinned the worldwide hippie movement throughout the 1960s and early '70s. Zeffirelli's signature lush photography and use of real architecture and settings enhances the story of this great historical figure, played by young British newcomer Graham Faulkner. Francesco, the spoiled son of a wealthy merchant, renounces all his worldly possessions to live a simple life as a man of God. Much to the dismay of the local bishop, he gradually gains a large following. The cinematography, editing, and a romantic soundtrack by the Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan, reinforce the healing and influential effect St. Francis had on his followers. The script contrasts Francis's piety and virtue with the bloated pomp of official Church doctrine, which is weighed down by internal politics. The film derives much of its strength from Faulkner as the young, battle-scarred nobleman laid low by his wartime experiences, who emerges from the horrors of conflict with a completely new and spiritual outlook on life. The film features a cast of gifted newcomers and screen veterans, including Judi Bowker (one of the most beautiful actresses of her generation), Leigh Lawson, ...
