Description

Discover the life and work of one of French cinema's greatest directors in this comprehensive study. First published over forty years ago, Jean Cocteau offers a fresh perspective on the filmmaker's most celebrated films as well as those often overlooked.

This book provides a complete introduction to Cocteau's cinematic project, detailed analysis of individual films, and a thematic engagement with all his cinema from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives. The result is a nuanced portrait of a materialist filmmaker and visionary who was committed to realism in all its forms.
