Walerian Borowczyk's most notorious and controversial film wildly re-works the classic Beauty and the Beast story into a fairy tale strictly for adults. • Bestial dreams interrupt the venal plans of a French aristocrat attempting to save a crumbling mansion by marrying off his deformed son, Mathurin, to a insatiable American heiress, Lucy. Yet Mathurin seems more interested in his horses than in his bride-to-be, and when Lucy finds out about the story of his 18th-century ancestor Romilda's (Sirpa Lane) relationship with the titular beast it sparks to life one of the most outrageous dream sequences in cinema history. • A huge hit in France that was extensively censored and banned elsewhere, The Beast broke new ground in explicitness and remains a truly startling experience even today. • SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS: • New high definition digital transfer of the uncut 98-minute version • Uncompressed Mono 2.0 PCM Audio • Optional English subtitles • Introduction by film critic Peter Bradshaw • The Making of The Beast: camera operator Noel Very provides a commentary on footage shot during the film's production • Frenzy of Ecstasy, a visual essay on the evolution of Borowczyk's beast and the sequel that never was, Motherhood • The Profligate Door, a documentary about Borowczyk's sound sculptures featuring curator Maurice Corbet • Boro Brunch, a reunion meal recorded in February 2014 reuniting members of Borowczyk's crew • Commercials by Borowczyk: Holy Smoke (1963), The Museum (1964) and Tom Thumb (1966) • Gunpoint, a documentary short by Peter Graham produced and edited by Borowczyk (11:04) • Behind Enemy Lines - The Making of Gunpoint (5:16) • Theatrical trailer • Reversible sleeve featuring Borowczyk's own original poster design • Illustrated booklet featuring new writing on the film by Daniel Bird and an archive piece by David Thompson, illustrated with original stills • CHECK OUT ARROW FILMS: • http://www.arrowfilms.co.uk/ • http://mvdb2b.com/s/TheBeastBluRayDVD... • • CHECK OUT MY OTHER CHANNELS: • FACEBOOK: • / tonyofthedeadsmoviereviews • BLOGGER: • http://www.mrtonyofthedead.blogspot.com/ • LIVE JOURNAL: • http://mrtonyofthedead.livejournal.com/ • LETTERBOXD: • http://letterboxd.com/tonyofthedead/ • TWITTER: • / tonyofthedead • INSTAGRAM: • / tonyofthedead
