Classic French surrealist fantasy written and directed by Jean Cocteau. A young poet sketches a face, the mouth of which comes to life, becomes affixed to the poet's hand, and is then transferred from his hand onto a statue. Instructed by the statue, the poet then flees into a mirror, entering a series of adventures in an alarming fantasy world. (StudioCanal UK)
