In this mysterious, gorgeous adaptation, Beauty and her Beast exist in a shadowy world of magic and poetry, and extremes of light and dark, cold and heat, pain and joy. Beauty must leave behind her beloved father, adventure-hungry brothers, and uproariously self-absorbed sisters, entering a dark castle filled with strange mute servants obedient to their beastly master. The story tests the nature and the limits of physical beauty, as she finally looks beyond the Beast's ugliness and understands her transforming love for him.
