概要
'Opium' is a French drama directed by Arielle Dombasle in 2013. The film delves into the complex relationship between Jean Cocteau, a renowned poet, playwright, artist, and filmmaker, and Raymond Radiguet, a young poet who was mentored by Cocteau. Their gay relationship is a central theme of the film, which also explores the destructive nature of addiction through Cocteau's descent into opium use following Radiguet's untimely death. Notably, 'Opium' is presented as a musical, possibly to reflect the dreamlike quality of Cocteau's work and his own fascination with the surreal.
