Jean Cocteau Author: James S. Williams

ISBN: 9780719058844 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 240 Published: 16 November 2009 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 19.8 x 12.9 x 1.2 Description: This is a comprehensive, original and accessible account of all aspects of Jean Cocteau's work in the cinema. It is the first major study in English to appear for over forty years and casts new light on Cocteau's most celebrated films as well as those often neglected or little known.Jean Cocteau is not only one of French cinema's greatest and most influential auteurs whose work covered all the major genres, but also an experimenter, collaborator, theorist and all-round ambassador of film.This lucid account provides a complete introduction to Cocteau's cinematic project in the context of his entire oeuvre, detailed analysis of individual films, and a thematic engagement with all his cinema from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives.The Cocteau that emerges is at once a materialist filmmaker and visionary who is committed to realism in all its guises and reveals the wonder and mystery of what he called "the cinematograph."
