Cocteau and "Beauty And The Beast"

leading from

H R Giger's Art

1. Giger: One of my first fascinations was Cocteau's film The Beauty And The Beast, I didn't see the film, but I saw photos from a copy of Life Magazine that American Soldiers brought with them.  (HR Giger by Debbie Harry & Christ Stein) 
2. Giger: Like Cocteau, I hate being limited to a particular genre.(Cinefantastique vol 9. no.1)
3. Giger: C'est pour- quoi j'aime tant La Belle et la Bête ! Cocteau est celui qui m'a le plus influencé. (PREMIERE · Octobre 1995 · 81) This is why I so love Beauty and the Beast! Cocteau was the one who influenced me the most.
