Too much bickering, not enough depth or psychological insight into these strange siblings to truly get invested in them. Cocteau's script and narration didn't do anything for me, and it became a chore to finish about halfway through. The incest and bisexuality alluded to wasn't as shocking as intended, in part because I was watching it nearly 70 years later, and in part because it just didn't feel authentic. That may have been part of the dreamlike, ambiguous point, but it just seemed banal and like it was trying too hard for its own good. Loved the score though.
Quotes: Lise: Paul, darling, I'll lie down and we'll play the game. Paul: I'm too used to playing it by myself.
