The poetry of Jean Cocteau in films: Le sang d'un poète (1930), La Belle et la Bête (1946) and Orphée (1950).

Jean Cocteau : “The day when a director understands that the author’s role is not limited to the script (to writing it) - the day when the author reveals himself - then the dead language of cinema will become a living language."

This thesis was a study into the artistic mind of French filmmaker Jean Cocteau who believed that poetry was the centre of every art work. This thesis studies the thoughts behind Jean Cocteau and in how he was so talented at making surreal and magical imagery in his films, particularly in his films: Le sang d'un poète (1930), La Belle et la Bête (1946) and Orphée (1950).
