 | | In Jean Delannoy's haunting love-fable THE ETERNAL RETURN (filmed in France during the German Occupation), screenwriter Jean Cocteau adapts the Tristan and Isolde myth to the modern age, combining the dreamy, tragic quality of a legend of unrequited love with contemporary aspects of family, honor, and relationships. |
 | | Handsome, carefree Patrice (Jean Marais) is an orphan who lives with his wealthy single uncle Marc (Jean Murat), his meddling aunt Gertrude (Yvonne de Bray) and her husband (Jean d'Yd) in a grand castle estate. |
 | | Gertrude, an overbearing mother, is forever lamenting over her own son, a dwarf named Achille (Pierre Pieral in an amazing performance) who is prone to reckless, angry, and often evil acts. |
