17/31 LA BELLE ET LA BÊTE (1946)
A beautiful woman takes her father's place as the prisoner of a Beast and ends up falling for her captor.
Cocteau's dreamlike adaptation of the most gothic of fairytales is full of mystery and desire; dark and weirdly erotic.

Jean Cocteau is perhaps best known as a film maker, but I've always considered him primarily a sketcher, a drawer---a late symbolist like Marc Chagall, a sensitive, lusty gay picasso. I wish I knew more about how that informed his process when planning a film!
