La Belle et la Bête
Jean Cocteau, 1946. B&W. 96 min.
With Josette Day, Jean Marais, Michel Auclair

Cocteau’s second feature as director remains a fantastical, sumptuous viewing experience with few peers in cinema. Heightened by lavish costumes that an uncredited Cardin worked on, this is a spirited adaptation of the centuries-old French fairytale of a man who sacrifices his youngest daughter to appease a mystical beast and the curious courtship that follows.

“A sensuously fascinating film, a fanciful poem in movement given full articulation on the screen.”—The New York Times

Viva Maria!
Louis Malle, 1965. Color and B&W. 120 min.
With Brigitte Bardot, Jeanne Moreau, Paulette Dubost
In French with English subtitles

Malle mines the frenzy of political upheaval for thrills, comedy, and a flirtatious sense of adventure with two of European cinema’s most alluring stars. Bardot and Moreau are two Marias—one sings, the other dances—who unexpectedly become catalysts of a socialist revolution in Central America. Witty and appealingly delirious, the film is a tribute of sorts to the buddy films of Cooper & Lancaster or Hope & Crosby.

“A rollicking, comic adventure opus impeccably brought off by director Louis Malle."—Variety

Eva
Joseph Losey, 1962. B&W. 116 min.
With Jeanne Moreau, Stanley Baker, Virna Lisi.
In English with Swedish subtitles

In a body of work filled with femme fatales, Losey arguably reached a peak with Eva, his collaboration with Jeanne Moreau examining a prostitute’s entrapment of a Welsh author (Baker). Cardin’s costume design for Moreau fundamentally informs her character, as Eva’s appearance often reveals more than the words she speaks.

La Princesse de Clèves
Jean Delannoy, 1961. Color. 101 min.
With Jean Marais, Marina Vlady, Jean-François Poron

Adapted by Jean Cocteau and released during the ascension of the nouvelle vague, this opulent costume drama set in 16th-century France was unjustly dismissed. Seeing the film now, its themes of tradition, loyalty, and forbidden love resonate as timeless, and its production and costume design remain undeniably elegant.
