Jean Cocteau

About Jean Cocteau

We film buffs grew up worshiping Jean Cocteau—particularly his BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, ORPHEUS and BLOOD OF A POET—but in recent years he has perhaps ebbed from our consciousness.

Lisa Immordino Vreeland's Jean Cocteau is a 2024 documentary film.

Jean Cocteau takes the lead as Self (archive footage), and Josh O'Connor as Narrator (voice). It runs 94 minutes and was released in August 2024.
