Jean Cocteau’s dreamlike reimagining of the Orpheus myth sets the classic tragedy in postwar Paris, where a famous poet (Marais) follows a mysterious woman (Casares) into the land of the dead. Filled with dream logic and poetic symbolism, ORPHEUS is a haunting romance and one of cinema’s most enduring avant-garde visions.
