Director: Jean Cocteau
Cast: Jean Cocteau, Edouard Dermithe
Synopsis:
The director interrogates the myths (of Oedipus and Orpheus) that have fascinated him in his work as poet and dramatist.

An adventurous use of the camera - tricks involve playing the film backwards, for instance - leavens the preciosities of Cocteau's film essay with his particular tongue-in-cheek humour.
