Audience Member The Tristan et Isolde story gets the Cocteau treatment (he wrote the script). Striking and haunting -- dark, voluptuous romanticism, disquieting as a fever dream. Why is this not yet available on DVD? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Tristan et Yseult - everlasting story Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Gorgeous story and very much a valentine to Cocteau.
