A Poet

ComedyDrama

Directed by Simón Mesa Soto

An aging poet finds purpose mentoring Yurlady, a talented teen, though exposing her to the poetry scene might be unwise. His own poetic pursuits led nowhere, leaving him a stereotypical obscure writer. From TMDB

    Today in 1963 we lost Jean Cocteau. The trailblazer in surrealist cinema was fascinated by putting death on film, from the artist as a theatrical suicide in Blood Of A Poet to the trip into the afterlife in Orpheus, brilliant fantasies. His concept: death is another step in our great performance
