SUBLIME CINEMA #437 - THE BLOOD OF A POET

Jean Cocteau was one of the great innovators of French cinema, a polymath of the arts and literature, and lived a life of artistic envy - mainly stationed in Paris during the 20′s and 30′s avant-garde, befriending the likes of Proust, Picasso and Modigliani. His paintings were great, his plays and novels were greater (he wrote a successful play for Edith Piaf, then they died a day apart), and his films were sublime. 

His personal life was sometimes contradictory and messy, he was one of the first openly gay filmmakers of note, but also a Nazi apologist - ‘long live shameful peace’, he wrote - take from that what you may.

Pétré felt the brand on his chest

the same as on the rum cask (the maroons would never forget her) brought across the ocean for trade.

21 pieces of Potosí silver hung on his neck for each year of his own trades with the half spanish gypsy’s.

he could not see the past, but he felt it

his great grandfathers father was transfixed upon the

Zanji circassian's amulet - but more upon whom it hung. 

and before slavers loaded the creaky old cask, she was by his side.

Their son would be Cuvette,
