Les Enfants terribles (literal English translation: The Terrible Children; English title: The Strange Ones)[2] is a 1950 French film directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, with a screenplay adapted by Jean Cocteau from his 1929 novel of the same name about the tangled relationship of a close brother and sister.
The film's soundtrack of Vivaldi concertos was unusual at the time and praised for its use in increasing the dramatic tension of the plot.[3]
Cocteau provided the voice-over narration of the film.
