Review of Orpheus (1950) by Richard D — 30 Jan 2016
Cocteau's films exist in their own cinematic universe. His adaptation of the Orpheus myth, like his adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast", is full of some of the simplest, but amazing special effects.
Unlike the fairy tale imagery of "Beauty and the Beast", "Orpheus" is full of dark, fetishistic imagery. It's a beautiful film that resembles no one else's work.
