Jean-Paul Fargier's documentary is a montage of animated images, numerous drawings and interviews with Jean Cocteau (1889-1963), interspersed with filmed archives of personalities he met with the aim of telling us about the explosive and prodigious life of this poet whose thirst for discovery and knowledge led him to connect with all the arts: the visual arts, literature and poetry, cinema and theater, dance and music. This eclecticism was fueled throughout his life by a profusion of artistic and romantic encounters, from Stravinsky to Picasso , from Coco Chanel to Colette , from Raymond Radiguet to Jean Marais . This whirlwind of social events, this artistic profusion inspired this documentary, in light of a large number of archives that make us revisit the artistic and Parisian life of the time. A multiple work, a life that contains several.
