Its always not easy to watch a foreign language film for me as I need to keep my eyes on the subtitles while still enjoying the film :) Nothing magical thingy and sceneries of this movie but it bring out the romantic side between the beauty and the beast. The storyline of course is roughly the same as per Disney, sorry to all French, know that you guys must be loving this fairy tales of your country, but I did not read the original fiction, so dare not comment much on this German's film as well. But overall, its nice and I love it :)
I've been looking everywhere for a subtitled version of this specific version of Beauty and the Beast. Do you happen to have a link or a source where I can watch it at? Thank you.
