La Villa Santo-Sospir (1952): Cast

Cocteau leads the viewer through a friend's seaside villa on the French Riviera—a key setting from his film Testament of Orpheus. The interior is lavishly adorned, primarily with Cocteau’s own designs and a few contributions by Picasso. He guides an extensive walkthrough of the artwork, displaying dozens of his mythologically themed paintings, and proudly points out works by Édouard Dermit and Jean Marais, while also wandering through his own home in Villefranche.
