    I'm not sure whether Belle entrance to the castle or Avenant's hair flip is my favorite part in this film. 10 years 10 months ago

    Stunning, Belle entrance to the castle is one of the most beautiful scenes in film I have ever seen. Cocteau takes you away into his magical world, what a vision! 12 years 3 months ago
