    Jean Cocteau?s dreamlike debut is a surreal poem and should be watched accordingly. Cocteau is one of the great pioneers of cinema although I don?t think he ever intended to be nor believed he ever was. In Blood of a Poet, he really brings to life what had only before been commun...( read more)icated in word, and so realised cinema?s full potential and invented many camera techniques still used today. Although I prefer L' Âge d'Or as a surrealist piece and Chelovek s kino-apparatom is more entertaining and will always be regarded as the more inventive film of that time, it just isn?t. Only a year separates all three films, Blood of a Poet is my least favourite but is easily, technically, the greater film, a true masterpiece and a very important film.

    Fantastic. My favorite part was the little girl being taught to fly.

    A very strange but poetic film as was the filmmaker. Not recommended for everyone!

    Excellent early incorporation of special effects. Cocteau disregards convention and challenges the audience, but the charm wears off by the end.
