Director Walerian Borowczyk
In the 18th century, a beast lived in the woods of an aristocratic estate. Possessed of a giant phallus and an insatiable lust, this beast set upon the beautiful young lady of the house. Two centuries later, the tale of the bast would return in the dreams of an American heiress contracted to carry the male descendant of the same crumbling aristocratic family and their secret. This 3-DVD numbered edition of 10,000 copies includes the 52 page book Beast Bis. DVD features include 16x9 widescreen, optional French and English dialogue, behind-the-scenes, and the rare rediscovered complete version.

This controversial film takes place in the 18th Century. This is the story of a beast living in the woods of an aristocratic estate who heavily lusts over the lady of the house and eventually goes after her. Two centuries pass, and the new heiress of the estate constantly dreams of the horrible tale of this beast. This heiress must now learn to live with this horrible family secret.

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

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.
