User Reviews: Orphic Trilogy (1930)

  • Overall:

    Classical, modern, and surreal all at on

    By Thomas  Jul 17, 2001

Cocteau's iconography is classical, modern, and surreal all at once. His undeniably rich imagination more than makes up for his egotism and pretentiousness. This is more interesting to me than Picasso, Miro, and Chanel put together. Read more Less
