Filmmakers Henri-Georges Clouzot and Jean Cocteau are captured in a candid conversation at the Matarasso gallery in Nice, 1956. Attending a private viewing of Pablo Picasso's illustrated books, the two stand in a starkly lit stairwell. Photographed from a high angle, Clouzot, at right in a checkered scarf, engages Cocteau, who leans against the wall, listening with a focused expression. The diagonal lines of the composition draw the viewer into the intimate exchange.
