  • "The film portrays an eighteenth-century poet who travels through time on a quest for divine wisdom. In a mysterious wasteland, he meets several symbolic phantoms that bring about his death and resurrection. The final film in the Orphic trilogy."
  • "In his last film Cocteau portrays an 18th century poet who travels through time on a quest for divine wisdom. In a mysterious wasteland, he meets several symbolic phantoms that bring about his death and resurrection. The film finished the circle of the journey begun in Blood of a Poet, exploring the torturous relationship between the artist and his creations."
  • "Jean Cocteau's last film concludes the cycle begun with Blood of a Poet. A series of ironic, highly stylized episodes filled with images that sum up his carrer, it is peopled with a host of close friends and associates, among them Edouard Dermit, François Perier and Maria Casare (evoking the memory of Orphée), Charles Aznavour, Jean Marais and Pablo Picasso."
  • "Jean Cocteau wrote and directed this last of his trilogy (with SANG D'UN POET, and ORPHEE). Cocteau introduces the film, which stars Jean Marais and Edouard Dermithe. A poet, as an 18th century man, dies, enters space, revives, and seeks his identity."
  • "Jean Cocteau's last film, and a compendium of his filmic style."
  • "Director Jean Cocteau's last film, this production is an artistic testament, filled with images that sum up his career. Cocteau plays his own hero, and completes the full circle back to his first film, "The Blood of a Poet." One of the central episodes of this film features a trial of the poet, in which he is condemned to life by Maria Casares and Francois Perier, two of the principal performers of the earlier film."
