Jean Cocteau n'a jamais marché droit. Il a traversé son siècle en funambule, avançant d'un art à l'autre comme on change de rive, sans jamais lâcher le fil. Poète avant tout, cinéaste par nécessité, dessinateur par instinct, dramaturge par gourmandise, il fut partout chez lui, et toujours ailleurs.
Dans Fortune faite, Christian Soleil retrace la vie et l'oeuvre de cet homme-orchestre qui transforma ses fragilités en laboratoire de création. De l'enfant prodige aux amitiés fulgurantes - Picasso, Radiguet, Diaghilev - des scandales aux triomphes, des opiums aux épiphanies, Cocteau apparaît ici sans fard mais sans procès: lucide, élégant, infiniment moderne.
Ce livre n'est ni un mausolée ni une révérence figée. C'est un portrait en mouvement, sensible et documenté, qui montre comment Cocteau a fait de sa vie une oeuvre, et de son oeuvre une manière de survivre au temps. Une invitation à relire, revoir, redécouvrir celui qui se disait menteur qui dit toujours la vérité.
Jean Cocteau n'est pas du passé. Il est de ceux qui nous attendent encore.
