In the years before fame came to be seen as an art form in itself, multi-faceted poet, playwright, visual artist, and filmmaker Jean Cocteau saw his artistic destiny as suspended betweenobscurity and celebrity. Weaving together the legendary Frenchman’s writings and recorded testimonies with rich archival material, Lisa Immordino Vreeland’s Jean Cocteau offers a sensitive portrait of a life driven by creative impulse, and of a body of work deeply entwined with both ecstasy and torment.
