BLOOD OF A POET (1930)

JEAN COCTEAU

Plot

Cocteau's avant garde first feature is essentially a two-part study of the tribulations of being an artist; the pain, pleasure and suffering for one's art. Highly imaginative and particularly interesting as a source of his later work, Cocteau creates some stunning, surrealist imagery. Weird and wonderful.
