Blood of a Poet gives a fascinating context for Cocteau's film ideas, which he later incorporated into the magnificent movies Beauty and the Beast and Orpheus. This one is very much of its time in the playfulness with which it uses the tricks of the camera and imagination of the film maker. It is diverting to watch but not the type of coherent, artistic statement the other Cocteau movies provide.
