A famous poet is trapped between real and imaginary worlds
as he becomes infatuated with the Angel of Death.
Autobiography mingles with classical mythology against
a background of post-war France. This fine new print from
the BFI revives Cocteau's ingenious theatrical stage-sets,
and enhances the film's dream-like, uncanny atmosphere conjured
up by the still remarkably persuasive visual effects.
