Full Plot Details

A young artist draws a face at a canvas on his easel. Suddenly the mouth on the drawing comes into life and starts talking. The artist tries to wipe it away with his hand, but when he looks into the hand he finds the living mouth on his palm. He tries to wipe it off on the mouth of an unfinished statue of a young woman. The statue comes into life and tells him that the only way out of the studio is through the looking glass. The artist jumps into the mirror and comes to the Hotel of Dramatic Lunacies. He peeps through the keyholes of a series of hotel rooms. In the last room he sees desperate meetings of hermaphrodites. One of them has a signboard saying "Mortal danger". Back in the studio the artist crushes the statue with a sledgehammer. Because of this he himself becomes a statue, located at the side of a square. Some schoolboys start a snowball fight around the statue. One of the boys is killed by a snowball. A fashionable couple start playing cards at a table beside the corpse. The woman tells the man that unless he holds the ace of hearts he is doomed. The man takes the ace of hearts from the dead boy. The child's guardian, a black angel, appears and takes away the corpse as well as the card. Losing the ace of hearts the man shoots himself. The woman is transformed into the unfinished statue from the studio, and walks away.

Movie Reviews

Senses of Cinema - 10/10 by Julia LevinIt is surreal and uninhibited in its handling of visual imagery.
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by David ParkinsonEven if this is only a reverie on the illogicality of the subconscious, it's still a triumph of the imagination and provides invaluable insights into Cocteau's artistic vision.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Dave KehrDespite its flaws, the film remains a fascinating souvenir of a vanished avant-garde.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzThere has never been a film quite like Le Sang d'un Poete.
Variety - 6/10 by Variety StaffOn the face of it, this film represents six reels of scraped together footage from off the cutting room floor. A more vague or hopeless mess could not have resulted.
Time Out - 6/10 by Derek AdamsThe honesty and robustness of the images prevents the movie from lapsing into pretension or preciousness; it remains extremely interesting as a source of Cocteau's later work.
User Review - 10/10 by Rodney ENarrative poetry. This worked very well when I was half asleep in a class. I would love to see this again. Utterly surreal and amazingly artistic
User Review - 10/10 by Jeremy BEn pocos instantes atrapa la atención. Es conmovedor el uso de los recursos, la curiosidad infantil que despierta la secuencia de las cerraduras y la capacidad de Cocteau para involucrarnos en sus sueños y procesos creativos.
User Review - 10/10 by Marcin MEven though I didn't know wtf was going on, i love that it's very conceptual in comparison to what has come out of hollywood for the last 50 or more years.
User Review - 10/10 by Justen RProbably the strangest film I've ever seen, but I love it, and I adore Jean Cocteau.
