Poster for Beauty and the Beast (1978) by Josef Vyletal<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 Next month, Second Run<\/a> release Juraj Herz’s 1978 adaptation of Beauty and the Beast<\/em> on region-free blu-ray. I watched this last year on a Czech DVD so it’s good to hear it’s being given an upgrade. Herz’s film is a distinctly sinister take on the familiar tale, with a bird-headed Beast that’s closer to Max Ernst than anything you’ll find in illustrations for Perrault’s stories.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “In a coincidence so unlikely it almost seems, well, magical, the girls traced illustrations from a book of folklore that also contained a short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself, a reflection of a reflection of a reflection.” Audrey Wollen<\/a> on the Cottingley fairy photographs. Related: The Coming of the Fairies<\/em><\/a> by Arthur Conan Doyle.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “[Mark E. Smith], with his love of Stockhausen, HP Lovecraft, and (bizarrely) the sitcom Keeping Up Appearances<\/em>, becomes a reverse coder, an apostle of avant pulp, a ‘paperback shaman’.” Sukhdev Sandhu<\/a> reviews Excavate! The Wonderful and Frightening World of the Fall<\/em>, edited by Tessa Norton and Bob Stanley.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Found photos of men in love from 1850\u20131950<\/a>“. Maybe. As before, I’m always cautious about imposing a narrative on old photographs.<\/p>\n
