About Beauty and the Beast
Julie, the youngest daughter of a bankrupt merchant, sacrifices her life in order to save her father. She goes to an enchanted castle in the woods and meets Netvor, a bird-like monster. As Netvor begins to fall in love with Julie, he must suppress his beastly urge to kill her.
Directed by Juraj Herz, Beauty and the Beast leans on a strong ensemble — Zdena Studenková, Vlastimil Harapes, Václav Voska — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 1979.
