Jean Cocteau is a singular figure in the category of writer-directors in more ways than one. Gifted with a precocious cinematographic imagination, one that associated the screen with a surface of revelation and resurrection, he developed a contrast between photography and photograms by turning to filmmaking. Cinema not only encouraged his fascination with images, but, as an integral part of his work with the appearance of talking pictures, it also allowed him to question his relationship to the spoken and written word.
