The Beast

Poetically meshing the absurd and the magical, noted provocateur Borowczyk’s erotic and surreal horror remains a startling experience. An explicit take on Beauty and the Beast featuring a young heiress grappling with the myth of a ravenous beast stalking the estate of her intended, it’s a reverie of insatiable and illicit desire that delights in dismantling bourgeois norms. Initially intended as a segment of Borowczyk’s Immoral Tales.

Contains scenes that some may find disturbing.
