3.Les Enfants Terribles (Vintage Crucial Classics) by: Jean Cocteau August 07, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.13
This is a film I wish Jean-Pierre Melville never made. It's so removed from his milieu that I can't help being reminded of Alfred Hitchcock's involvement with the romantic comedy, MR AND MRS SMITH. It seems, however, that Melville wanted to do it so he has only himself to blame. Here we are treated to a couple of overbearing teenagers orphaned early in the story -- apparently without emotional effect. Their story in the first part of the film is mostly confined to their shared bedroom in which torment each other at the top of their lungs. Some people are fascinated by this psychopathology, but it was pure hell for me. Nicole Stéphane as the sister has been revered for her performance -- yet I found it constantly ... Read More:

8.Beauty and the Beast: Diary of a Film from: Dover Publications Inc. May 27, 1986
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.10
The movie crew moves expediently to set up its shots. The director frantically worries that the power doesn't go out at a critical stage when the film is being developed. No, they aren't filming in Northern California during the rolling blackouts of 2001; it's 1945 France, still regrouping from the hardships of its Nazi occupation. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST: DIARY OF A FILM is an excellent primary resource that documents the struggles of one French "crusader" to build up the momentum of its movie industry. It's a shame it's incomplete. When Director Jean Cocteau started recording the progress of his masterpiece film, LA BELLE ET LA BÊTE, a couple of days before it started filming, not even he could have guessed the obstacles he'd have ...

9.The Human Voice (Acting Edition) by: Jean Cocteau September 04, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.00 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £35.84
Jean Cocteau's landmark "voice play," published in 1947, is dated after sixty years, a reflection of a society which has changed irrevocably. A middle-aged woman, devastated because her five-year relationship has ended and her lover has moved on, tries to come to grips with her future and largely fails. When her lover calls to offer whatever support he can--and to ask for his belongings by tomorrow--his call becomes her lifeline. "I knew you would give me a ring," she says, with ponderous irony, then adds to herself, "A wring of the neck," or "a boxing ring" from which there is no escape. The entire play consists the woman talking with her former lover in a series of increasingly fraught phone calls, as the connection keeps getting lost. Though ... Read More:
