Review of Orpheus (1950) by Martin T — 24 Sep 2009
Bogged down by unnecessary seriousness. The actors don't help anything, with most of them hamming it up like crazy, especially Jean Marais. Some good ideas here, but they're trapped in a stupid movie.
Also, Cocteau kind of seems like a major egomaniac.
