La Bête [The Beast] (Original photograph from the 1975 film)

  • N.p.: N.p., 1975
By Walerian Borowczyk (director, screenwriter); Sirpa Lane, Lisbeth Hummel, Elisabth Kaza, Pierre Benedetti (starring)
N.p.: N.p., 1975. Vintage borderless color photograph from the 1975 French film, showing actress Lisbeth Hummel.

Originally conceived as a short film, used as the final installment of director Walerian Borowczyk's anthology film "Immoral Tales" (1973), and expanded in 1975 by the director into a surreal chamber drama.

Loosely based on Prosper Merimee's 1869 novella "Lokis." A young newlywed in the French countryside suspects her husband may be hiding a bestial secret. Noted director Walerian Borowczyk's sixth film, banned in the UK and US at the time of release, now rightfully considered a cult classic.

Set in the woods of France.

9.5 x 6.5 inches. Near Fine.
