Le testament d'Orphée (The Testament of Orpheus) (Directors Suite) | = |
The Testament of Orpheus is available in Region 1 in the Jean Cocteau Orphic Trilogy Box set by the Criterion Collection with The Blood of a Poet and Orpheus. The extras in this Box set include Edgardo Cozarinsky’s renowned 66-minute 1984 documentary Jean Cocteau: Autoportrait d’un Inconnu (Autobiography of an Unknown), Villa Santo Sospir, a 16mm colour film by Cocteau featuring many of the locations used in The Testament of Orpheus, a gallery of rare behind-the-scenes photos from The Blood of a Poet, a collection of Cocteau’s writings on the trilogy, including a transcript of his lecture at the 1932 debut screening of The Blood of a Poet and a Cocteau filmography. Unfortunately, this fine DVD release is now out-of-print. Hence, the only way to see this film on DVD is to view it with this faithful port of the Region 1 Criterion Collection by Madman's Directors Suite label. |
