1930 - THE BLOOD OF A POET

The poet Jean Cocteau shot this avant-garde film on a rather small budget but he got some interesting visual ideas and effects across.

 

As with any artist,  try getting a straight answer about what the film is saying is virtually impossible especially when you read the interviews with Cocteau. 

 Just sit back and enjoy the interesting visuals and afterwards try to put some meaning to what you have just witnessed.

The film was written by Cocteau who was smart enough not to push it with this fascinationg weirdness,  it only runs 55 minutes.
