They shave Mathurin, get him squeaky clean, and even get him baptized by a priest and his two young boy servants (which becomes a creepy situation as the night goes on), but they can’t do anything about his sad personality or the cast on his arm. We watch as Mathurin’s father tries to get him cleaned up and presentable to make a good impression, as Lucy has money in her family.

Lucy Broadhurst (Lisbeth Hummel) and her aunt Virginia (Elisabeth Kaza see also Stuart Gordon’s Castle Freak) are on their way to a home in the woods where Lucy will meet the man she is to marry, Mathurin de l’Esperance (Pierre Benedetti). So bear with me here we’ve been in this situation before, and I’ve always tried to do my best, so I’ll try not to let you down. Unfortunately, the overdubs are often put in at the same volume as the original voices, so it is very hard, and often next to impossible, to understand a lot of the dialogue, and there are a lot of echoes going on throughout the film. In fact, unless you’re a creep, it’s really not even an obscene shot maybe jarring as the intro to a film, sure, but not obscene.īefore I continue, I will note that the cut I have of The Beast has overdubbed voices as opposed to subtitles. Not what you might expect from a “horror” movie, but interestingly enough, also not the strangest part of Polish writer/director Walerian Borowczyk’s 1975 film. After a couple minutes of introductory credits, we watch a fully erect male horse walk around a female horse, then mount her, then “mate” with her until completion. The Beast ( La Bete) has one of those opening scenes that you will never forget, no matter how hard you try.

The daughter and her aunt then travel out to the French countryside to meet with the family, unaware that a mysterious ‘beast’ is stalking the vicinity. The head of a failing French family thinks that fate has smiled down on him when the daughter of a wealthy man agrees to be married to his son.
