AFI Latin American Film Festival + Silent Movie Day Presentation THE BLOOD OF A POET [LE SANG D’UN POÈTE]*FREE for Silver Cinema Club members!
Told in four episodes, THE BLOOD OF A POET begins with an artist in his studio startled to find a mouth he has painted beginning to move. From this point on, the film moves between dimensions and settings, offering disturbing images dense with interpretive possibilities. One of prolific artist Jean Cocteau’s earliest cinematic efforts, THE BLOOD OF A POET suggests the virtuosic command of the form that would later define his future film work like LA BELLE ET LA BÊTE and ORPHÉE. Chilean actor Enrique Riveros stars as the titular poet while photographer Lee Miller makes her only film appearance as a classical statue come to life. (Note adapted from Rialto Pictures.)
Silent with recorded soundtrack; select narration in French with English subtitles. NOT RATED
