Enrique Rivero Lee Miller Pauline Carton

Plot

A poet enters a mirror and travels through a hotel of strange dreams. A series of surrealist scenes about the creative act.

Sinekatalog’s take

Cocteau's first film sends a poet through a mirror into a hotel of strange dreams, in a string of surrealist scenes about creation. Odd, handmade and unforgettable, it set a style that he would revisit in Orpheus.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
