Dir. Lisa Immordino Vreeland, 2024, USA, 94minNarrated by Josh O’Connor
Q&A with director Lisa Immordino Vreeland moderated by Carla Gutierrez
Novelist, playwright, poet, designer, painter and filmmaker Jean Cocteau remains, sixty years after his death, a singular twentieth century artist. His seminal films Beauty and the Beast and Orpheus have achieved immortality. Filmmaker Lisa Immordino Vreeland, who has previously made illuminating films about Peggy Guggenheim and Cecil Beaton, presents an examination of Cocteau that is as much about the art as it is about the artist himself. Narrated by Josh O’Connor, the film features revealing archival footage, including an interview addressed to the next generation.
“A definitive, hypnotic and poignant vision of the man… Essential.” – Alexander Payne
