Cohen Media is celebrating the 70th anniversary of Jean Cocteau's classic film Les Parents Terribles (1948), starring Jean Marais, Josette Day, Yvonne de Bray, Marcel Andre, and Gabrielle Dorziat. The restoration is now playing in select theaters across the nation.
A Blu-ray release will be available for purchase later this year.
Label synopsis: Cohen Film Collection is proud to present the 70th anniversary release of this rediscovered masterpiece by one of French cinema's giants, Jean Cocteau, in a new 2K restoration. In this heartbreaking drama based on Cocteau's highly successful stage play, a mother (Josette Day) smothers her grown son with boyish love. When the son (played by Cocteau regular Jean Marais) meets a girl and leaves the family circle, the mother flies into a rage. But when the boy tells his father, it sets off another drama - she is none other than the girl the father has been secretly seeing. Tragedy strikes in this time-honored tale of fledglings leaving the family nest.
