In 1810, a ruined merchant is forced into exile in the countryside with his six children.  These include Belle, the youngest of his daughters, a joyful and kind-hearted child.  In the course of an arduous journey, the merchant comes across a magical realm inhabited by the Beast, who condemns him to death for stealing one of his precious roses.  To save her father, Belle offers herself up as a sacrifice.  In the Beast's castle, it is not death that awaits Belle but a strange fairytale existence in the company of a tortured soul.  Only Belle has the power to rescue the Beast from the terrible curse that has been placed upon him...

Whilst the horror genre is under-represented in French cinema, there are still a fair number of weird and wonderful forays into the realms of fantasy.
The very best sci-fi movies

Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
The best of American film noir

In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
