This is my first Jean Cocteau film and yeah. It was bizarre which is something I didn't really expect. This film was made in the 30's so I just expected it to be a 30's movie that was bizarre then but not now. I was wrong. I found it to be interesting at parts. The first and fourth episodes were interesting. The third one seemed pointless and the second one I might have mixed up with the first. The film really had no continuity to it and felt pretty much slapped together. I don't understand what it means but thats beside the point. The whole film basically felt like a big display of trick photography so yeah. I want to see the films that are considered masterpieces by him like Beauty and the Beast and Orpheus.
Overall: Interesting, but lacking
