У Жана Кокто даже детская сказка сюрная: "вас испачкал сам дьявол", "мне нравится бояться...с тобой". Мишель Оклер харизматичнее Маре (а в детстве наоборот казалось), впрочем, он мне всегда был симпатичен. Похоже, его карьера началась с фильма Кокто.



The is another element in La Belle et la Bête that is distinctly Cocteau: the temple to Diana on the Beast’s estate. At first it seems odd that he would include Roman mythology into a French fairytale. Yet those that remember the myth of Diana will recall that she was the goddess of beasts and the hunt, shunning all male contact. The Temple of DianaOne day when a Prince named Actaeon spied on Diana bathing, she turned him into a stag and set his own dogs upon him. Suddenly the shots of mauled deer and the countless dog statues in the film make more sense. Cocteau accurately observed that the elements of the Beauty and Beast tale date back much further than we usually think.
