Orpheus (Orphee) (1949) |
<<back |
|
|
 |
Cocteau's retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus - the musician whose virtuoso gifts charmed all who heard his music; animals and gods - is among the most breathtaking films ever made. Translated to Paris' Left Bank in the 1950s, Jean Marais' Orpheus is now a renowned poet. To retrieve his dead wife Eurydice, he must venture into the Underworld beyond the mirror, where the angels of death are leather-clad bikers, and Death herself a gothic dominatrix.
