Orphée (JEAN COCTEAU, 1950, 95 MINS)

 

The Greek myth of Orpheus set in post-war Paris. Jean Marais plays a poet caught between his love for both his wife Eurydice (Marie Déa) and a mysterious princess (Maria Casarès). Seeking inspiration, he follows the princess through a mirrored portal from the world of the living to the land of the dead. Cocteau uses early literature to inspire visual poetry and dreamlike storytelling, creating a cinematic classic
