#Bales2023FilmChallenge August 15: looking at/speaking to the moon on #ChantAtTheMoonDay

The beauty (#JosetteDay) and the beast's (#JeanMarais) fate are determined by #Diana, the #moon goddess, represented by a white deer and hunting dogs, something the audience would have understood immediately when this film came out. From the very symbolic-heavy and beautifully moonlit La Belle et la Bête (#JeanCocteau & #RenéClément, 1946).

☆☆☆☆

C’est indubitablement mauvais, c’est kitsch et l’interprétation est totalement foirée.
