Of Slippers and Spindles - Fairy Tale Retellings and Adaptations in Books, Film, and Theatre
Join fairy tale enthusiasts Cassie, Daurie, Laura, and Matt as they discuss the world of film and literary adaptations! Each month (or so) they will choose a specific fairy tale, and each week they will discuss a different book, movie, or musical adaptation of that fairy tale, exploring the way authors and artists retell, change, twist, conserve, and diversify the same stories over and over.
In loving memory, always, of Drew.

Cassie and Matt kick off the second Beauty and the Beast era with a look at one of the most classic adaptations -- the 1946 French film by Jean Cocteau, La Belle et La Bete. While considered by many to be a shining example of French cinema, Cassie and Matt were . . . it's a weird film, y'all. They chat surrealism, strong but not necessarily great acting choices, and the clear influence that this film had on adaptations to come.
