Summary: keen insight into cinema
Comment: The book is comprised of a series of interviews, reviews, speeches and writings of Cocteau. It is an interesting glimpse into Cocteau's thought on cinema. He covers both his own films and his contemporaries finishing up near the French New Wave. His opinions are not those from an intellectual or an elitist. Cocteau is a unique talent with an intuitive grasp on cinema's role as a vehicle of poetry.

Throughout the book you will notice a lack of reviews concerning cinema he does not like. He is silent on that which he does not like preferring instead to focus on what attracts him. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in film as art.
