Jean Cocteau and his adopted son Edouard "Doudou" Dermit during filming of "Le Testament d’Orphée". Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1959.
In a theatrical moment during the filming of "Le Testament d’Orphée," Jean Cocteau holds a skull prop to his face, his lips pressed against its teeth. His adopted son, Edouard "Doudou" Dermit, looks on with a serious and contemplative expression. In his other hand, Cocteau holds a dark flower, adding to the surreal atmosphere. Behind them, a mosaic of a stylized face is set into an arched wall covered in a diamond-patterned lattice. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1959.
