Additional Information
Cinema giants Jean-Pierre Melville (THE WAGES OF FEAR) and Jean Cocteau (LA BELLE AT LA BETE) collaborated to create LES ENFANTS TERRIBLES, a stunning portrait of surreal perversion and narcissism based on Cocteau's novel of the same name. When teenage Paul, the fragile protagonist, is mysteriously felled by a powerful snowball thrown by his dastardly and handsome idol, Dargelos, he returns home to recuperate under the unwilling care of his irascible sister, Elisabeth. The two share a bedroom in the home of their ailing mother. Within the their bedroom, the siblings have constructed a private universe of erotically charged jokes, elaborate rituals, and coded behaviour sealing them off from the rest of the world. When their mother unexpectedly dies Paul and Elisabeth spiral even further into their own world, with Paul's fragile condition keeping him from returning to school. The incestuous undertones and poisonous ambiance are further complicated as Paul and Elisabeth are joined first by Paul's friend Gerard, who is obsessed with Elisabeth, and finally by Agathe, Elisabeth's colleague who is the spitting image of Paul's nemesis Dargelos. As the diabolical Elisabeth becomes unable to hide her dangerous love for Paul, the film heads for its high-pitched climax. Cocteau's tale of sublimation and deception comes to life under Melville's lucid direction.

    Unfortunately, due to the Post Office messing up a delivery, the package was lost and redelivered, but the tracking was all messy. Not the sellers fault. Acted professionally. Can not thank enough. Would buy again. Great item. Great price

    A taboo and shambolic relationship.

    In itself, this is far from being a great work of cinematic art. The two main characters are a pain - but that's almost the point. Their dialogue and acting leave something to be desired yet, overall the film is effective in portraying a taboo and shambolic relationship. In English-language culture, think Tennessee Williams. Even so, why five stars? All right, perhaps erring on the generous side, but, be that as it be, this is a must-see film by an writer important because of the combination of how he did what he did when he did it.

    A very Cocteau film, crowd scene / last supper (cameo) a touch of implied sexuality between siblings, dark but watchable. Given the films ageI t must have been ground breaking and possibly a bit shocking.
