"Blood of the Poet" is the first work of Cocteau, a French artist who navigated through the worlds of poetry, novels, drama, and painting before entering the realm of cinema. It is also a representative work of the avant-garde film movement of that time. Cocteau appears before the audience wearing a mask, accompanied by subtitles that read, “All poetry is heraldry, so it is necessary to interpret the blood and tears of the poet.” The entire piece is infused with the protagonist's whimsical and absurd world. Cocteau’s elements (personal experiences, private mythological worlds) are expressed through the integration of cinematic techniques into his unique concept of "death and rebirth," presenting a visualized story where the temporal aspect of the film achieves a thematic unity at the beginning and the end. For Cocteau, cinema serves as a magical medium capable of realizing the “Phoenix Art,” and his first work has established a philosophy derived from marginal existence, distinct from other forms of expression, while also reflecting his lifelong pursuit of the theme of “the artist dying and being reborn.”
