Let’s talk about the director and screenwriter of the film, Jean Cocteau. He is a famous French poet and painter. He was a friend and assistant of Picasso. The original story of this story is a fairy tale written by Mrs. Beaumont in the middle of the 19th century. Cocteau transformed this story to give it a modern flavor. He put the background of this story in the 17th century, and used his own drawing skills in character costumes and film background layout. This is an obvious blend of romanticism into the expression of modern film art. Make fantasy a true formalism.
Cocteau is an amateur filmmaker. He wants to integrate the "poetic beauty of film" into this film with his artistic skills. This is the expression of his external views as a poet, and he takes this film as It is the medium through which he conveys poetry. He closely applied the non-narrative tradition of poetry and fantasy to the film, making it a pioneering film that mixed multiple elements, and it was also regarded as an avant-garde milestone in French cinema.
