II Angel Heurtebise with incredible Brutality jumps on me. Please Don't jump so hard, Beastly fellow, flower of tall Stature. You've laid me up. That's Bad manners. I hold the ace, see? What do you have? III Angel Heurtebise pushes me; And you, Lord Jesus, mercy, Lift me, raise me to the corner Of your pointed knees; Undiluted pleasure. Thumb, untie The rope! I die. IV Angel Heurtebise and angel Cegeste killed in the warwhat a wondrous Nameplay The role of scarecrows Whose gesture no frightens The cherries on the heavenly cherry trees Under the church's folding door Accustomed to the gesture yes V My guardian angel, Heurtebise, I guard you, I hit you, I break you, I change Your guard every hour. On guard, summer! I challenge You, if you're a man. Admit Your beauty, angel of white lead, Caught in a photograph by an Explosion of magnesium. Charles Guenther A Note on Jean Cocteau and "L'Ange Heurtebise" Jean Cocteau (1889­1963) was among the most versatile, talented, and prolific figures in twentieth-century French arts and lettersyet one of the most enigmatic. He produced work in many fields, including nearly thirty books of poetry, plus works in the "poetry" (as he termed it) of fiction, criticism, drama, film, painting, and illustration.

He is currently a PhD candidate at Melbourne University. filmography bibliography articles in Senses web resources Jean Cocteau: Filmmaker? and Like many gifted artists whose talent falls short of genius, Cocteau did not feel drawn to one art form above all others. Instead he utilised all the media available to him to create a complex personal mythology which mixed imagery and text, poetry and prose, fact and fiction, realism and fantasy, history and modernity. This was further elaborated by numerous autobiographical writings and frequent interviews. Francis Steegmuller, Cocteau's most perceptive biographer, calls the result of this super-abundance of information that he provided about himself an "invisibility-by-autobiography" . In the forty years since his death, interest in Cocteau's life (especially in France) has burgeoned into a small industry. Invisibility-by-autobiography has been supplemented by invisibility-by-biography. My first step in setting up such a narrative is to provide a linear and chronological account of the salient details of Cocteau's life and work. This I do below, with an emphasis on his work in film.

Shot in 1952, this is an "amateur film" done in 16mm, a sort of home movie in which Cocteau takes the viewer on a tour of a friend's villa on the French coast (a major location used in Testament of Orpheus). The house itself is heavily decorated, mostly by Cocteau (and a bit by Picasso), and we are given an extensive tour of the artwork. Cocteau also shows us several dozen paintings as well. Most cover mythological themes, of course. He also proudly shows paintings by Edouard Dermithe and Jean Marais and plays around his own home in Villefranche. This informal little project once again shows the joy Cocteau takes in creating art, in addition to showing a side of his work (his paintings and drawings) that his films often overshadow.

Born to a middle-class family in Paris , he excelled from youth in an almost absurd range of fields: filmmaking, poetry, graphic art, fiction, drama, couture, even postage-stamp design. Most of all, Cocteau was a brilliant, witty, self-invented personality whose talents put him at the forefront of practically every "ism" of the century, from surrealism to modernism to dada. The persistence of fairy tale, mythological, and other classical motifs in his work adds a gravitas — a word Cocteau would no doubt bristle at, as being much too serious — that makes it arguably unique in modern art. Beauty and the Beast and the "Orphic trilogy" — stand almost sui generis as representatives of the poetic consciousness in cinema. The Criterion Collection’s recent release of the Orphic trilogy in a DVD boxed set affords a welcome chance to reassess these works that were a crucial part of many cinephiles’ introduction to the art of film. All three benefit from crisp digital transfers, restored sound, and new English subtitle translations.
