Cocteau's Blood of a Poet




I'd like us to watch Blood of a Poet (45 min., I could do excerpts if necessary). There are some nice ways of disorienting space that if so inspired we can draw on. Also, Cocteau was interested in mixing drawing and the 3-d human form on film - some things I'd like to try with mixing the body with projection. The image of the man falling into the pool of water began with him looking into a mirror that exactly fit the size of the pool - with the cut, it appeared he was passing into the mirror with a splash.
