The Blood of a Poet
Directed by Jean Cocteau
Produced by Vicomte de Noailles
A dreamlike, surrealist meditation on artistic creation and the poet's struggle between the allure of imagination and the constraints of reality.
In a poet’s room, an armless statue abruptly comes to life. It invites the poet to step through a mirror and to discover another world. Strange places and characters present themselves to him. The poet tears himself away from these twisted fascinations and returns, with some difficulty, to his room.
