Cocteau

Jose here.

When a work appears to be ahead of its time, it is only the time that is behind the work.
-Jean Cocteau

Before the day is over I thought it would be a good moment as any to celebrate the unique Jean Cocteau. He was born on a day like this in 1889. Incredible to think he seems more visionary than most modern artists huh?

Besides his marvelous poetry, theater and criticism, he was a groundbreaking film director.
Have any of you seen his Orpheic Trilogy?
If not, I definitely insist you do.



What's your favorite thing Cocteau made?
