Beauty and the Beast (1978) | Underground Film Series

The most uncanny and fierce adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, the film follows the innocent Julie and her experiences living under the watchful eye of Netvor, a bird-like being torn between his growing affection for her and his animalistic urge to kill. Directed by Juraj Herz of the Czech New Wave, Herz masterfully infuses the 18th-century French fairytale of impossible affection with the aesthetics of gothic horror.
