Beauty and the Beast
(2014)
Directed by Christophe
Gans this film stars Lea Seydoux and Vincent Cassel. Following the
bankruptcy of her family and her father stealing a rose a young woman
ends up prisoner of a beast.
Unfortunately about 10
minutes into watching this film I realised that having recently seen
the Emma Watson version I was really not in the mood to see another
bland version of this fairy tale. The visuals here are nice but the
story telling is pretty weak, the script feels very bare bones and
the romance not convincing. Maybe it is unfair for this adaptation to
live in the shadow of the more recent Hollywood one but that is how
it breaks.
2/5
