blood of a poet
One of the true classics of the cinema and a key work of Surrealism, Jean Cocteau's first film Blood of a Poet
[Le sang d'un poète] (1930) is an aesthetic tour de force consisting of a series of episodes and imaginary events. Exploring the technical capabilities of film to magically transcend time, the strange and disturbing images and trick photography represent Cocteau's unique view of "the poet's inner self". Cocteau's combination of visual poetry and theatrical camp makes this a rich, fascinating and enigmatic film.
