Info:
Writer Jean Cocteau and director Jean-Pierre Melville joined forces for this elegant adaptation of Cocteau's immensely popular, wicked novel about the wholly unholy relationship between a teenage brother and sister. Elisabeth (a remarkable Nicole Stephane) and Paul (Edouard Dermithe) close themselves off from the world by playing an increasingly intense series of mind games with the people who dare enter their clandestine world-until romance and jealousy intrude. Melville's operatic camera movements and Cocteau's perverse, poetic approach to character merge in "Les Enfants Terribles" to create one of French cinema's greatest, and most surprising, meetings of the minds.New, restored high-definition digital transfer; Audio commentary by writer, film critic, and journalist Gilbert Adair; Interviews with producer Carole Weisweiller, actor Nicole Stephane; "Around Jean Cocteau" (2003) a short video by Noel Simsolo; Gallery of behind-the-scenes stills; New and improved English subtitle translation; Plus: A booklet featuring a new essay by critic Gary Indiana, Audio Commentary, Collectible Booklet, Original Theatrical Trailer, Photo Gallery, NTSC.
