“Let's see, what's this?, La belle et la bête. Just beautiful, surreal, shot right at the end of World War II in France. Everybody was cold, everybody was hungry. Jean Cocteau came down with impetigo during the filming of it but managed to have the most amazing, beautiful fantasy film. It's beautiful to this day. I love to watch it.”
