Frenzy of Ecstasy

Frenzy of Ecstasy (2015)

*** (out of 4)

This four-minute featurette can be found on the Arrow Video release of Walerian Borowczyk's THE BEAST. The first couple minutes show the director's storyboards as well as notes on what he wanted for the look of the beast in the film. The final couple minutes are a treatment of a proposed sequel that the director tried but failed to get funding for in the 1990s. If you're a fan of THE BEAST then you should find this to be a lot of fun. Yes, the running time is quite short but what's here is quite impressive. I really loved seeing all the storyboards and how simple they were. I also found some of the notes to be quite funny and especially with the more perverted nature of the story.
