Review of The Blood of a Poet (1932) by Andrew D — 13 Apr 2008
Cocteau is a master of self-indulgent film that appeals on a higher level. Here he explores the plight of the artist bringing his creations to life, being a part of his work, not being able to break free from his past all the while subjecting his audience to some of the most delightful imagery in film.
You might not know what is going on when you watch the film, but the images are worth it, and when you're done read his essay included in the bonus materials. A wonderful film.
