The Blood of a Poet

when i watched testament of orpheus i was confused as to how these movies are a trilogy and while still not having watched the second film, watching this its becomes obviously more clear that jean cocteau presents a look into the making of art itself, this being the first film shows a poet through the cinematic languange which creates some great imagery.

the performances are excellent and feel in place with the tone, the movie doesn't have any traditional set of characters but the way it and the other film comment and conjur up the way we view art and how we can express that in different forms is so fascinating and lovely.
