Directed by - Jean Cocteau(1930) - B&W - 53 min LikeTelevision proudly presents - Jean Cocteau's first film, Blood of a Poet, a bizarre avant garde classic featuring disturbing images of the artistic process. When the film initially debuted, a poster in the lobby offered a $25 reward to anyone if they could figure out the meaning of the film. As yet, this prize remains unclaimed. The question I have - is what happened to the money ($25)... or as the old saying goes, to find out what's really happening - follow the money.


Part one Intro, B&W, credits, etc The story is broken into 4 shorter pieces that often seem to blend into each other, even though each section is clearly delineated. The first story is about a poet who tries to create a drawing of a women... but then when he tries to erase the mouth with his hand, the mouth gets stuck to his hand. And then gets ported to a statue, which comes to life. Part two The other stories are equally bizarre - there's one with a child flying on the ceiling. She's ordered to fly by a mean nanny or something, and then follows instructions and flys about the room. Another part features a weird scene where the poet falls into a mirror and then becomes part of an alternate reality.
Part three Other weird parts include a massive snowball fight - which seems to invoke thoughts of losing one's innocence. Later one of the kids gets killed and is visited by an angel, while the rich folks watch all the action from their opera seats. Meanwhile, a young couple is playing a deadly game of cards.
