<p><i>The Beast</i> (La Bete, 1975) is a notorious cult movie, the kind of movie you might not admit to having seen. It's notorious for the rape scene that serves as the movie's centerpiece--in which a beast attacks an 18th century aristocratic woman who ultimately enjoys the experience. This isn't exactly the sort of stuff that gets you points for being politically correct
