    Courageous film-making,a string of recklessly inventive events of sexuality and promiscuity.Whoever mentions Bunuel as inspirational threshold is absolutely correct!1975 and the beauty is captured by the Beast and...succumbs to the forbidden fruit!A classic erotic film,art meets noble arousal,perfection in boldness.

    holy crap, what an interesting take on the Beauty and the Beast story with some Bunuelian sensibilities. Hilarious stuff!

    This is not Beauty and the Beast as Disney did it by a long shot. Not for the kiddies. This movie is a twisted horror comedy based on the old tale.

    I was taken by surprise to see that this film turn out to be a weird one.Is like watching a twisted & exotic tale of beauty & the beast.The film is extremely bizarre & explicit.You have to be in the right mood for this film but is quite a shocking one.

    I wanted to like this a lot more than I did, but as a whole it came across as amateurish and juvenile, a weak framework being used as an excuse to show sexually "shocking" imagery. Great, now I've seen horses mate. Oh wow, they're showing that guy's johnson. Sex and sexual imagery can have meaning and can be truly daring, but there needs to be an artistically perceivable point. I found no such thing in The Beast, which largely left me just bored despite all the supposedly lustful ongoings.

    Deep within this run of the mill mystery is an incredible, strange and sexy scene. The true story of the beauty and the beast.

    This is for artists and those who like to call themselves artists only.
    I hope this one doesn't become famous becaouse I write about this invalid piece of horse cum.
    I would rate hardcore pornmovies better.
    It will probably be cheap cause no one will buy it. Enough said. Beware of this beast.

    Opens with a close up of a big fat horses cock, which sums up this film. For fans of ladies being chased by horny Chewbaccas and getting clothes ripped off by thorny bushes. Which I am.

    Don't be fooled by other reviews beating around the bush. This film does have a man dressed up in some sort of gorilla suit ejaculating all over a naked woman in it. Are you going to watch this film? Of course you are.

    Borowczyk's notorious erotic fable. Wonderfully wicked and quite beautiful in its own perverse way.

    The Beast is an adept title for this curious piece of Eurosleaze which opens with several shots of copulating horses and close-ups of their "throbbing" genitalia. The perversity level is then ratcheted up during the film with memorable scenes including a female masturbation sequence that brings a new meaning to the term "green fingers" and an unbelievably twisted beast-woman "romp".

    The film caused quite a stir on its release and it's not difficult to see why given its content. Some will no doubt bin this within the first 10 minutes but if you are someone who likes to explore cinema on the fringes then this is certainly worth a look.
