Kalissa H @kali_416 Jul 27 Beautifully filmed. I liked how the story was made its own. See more Shioka O @RT54204327 06/01/2025 Filmed in 1950 and still inspirational and sophisticated. you'll keep watching until the end. only thing I put -0.5 star is that the main character deserves no sympathy. See more Tom F @RT55173143 04/19/2025 A beautiful dream of a rock star poet confronting death and life. See more Logan D @Greynomad38 09/24/2023 A woman coerces a poet to escort the corpse of a fellow poet to her home. He is soon drawn into a world of unexpected reality. Full of symbolism, the film is paced at a slow tempo. The special effects, which I'm sure were exceptional at the time, still impress. It's a very well crafted work, maybe not for everyone, but certainly a magical film worthy of study or enjoyment. See more elana k @RT79062488 02/13/2023 Its fun to simply enjoy a work art, an art film such as this. One need not dwell too long on its symbolism and/or interpretations. It is fine to simply behold the eccentricities of the filmmakers mind, to revel in and the form and style. First I found myself lost in my questions, then the experience gave way to the enjoyment of cinema and the performances, the mystery and the absurdity. And now I want to watch it again. See more Christopher B @Ikari777 08/28/2022 Another poetic and beautifully lensed film from Jean Cocteau on a subject he is very fond of both professionally and personally. This is his take on Orpheus set in 50s Paris and featuring some eerie and gorgeously gothic imagery much like his version of Beauty and the Beast. A great symbolic and meditative film to be absorbed and thought upon. From a refined time and place by an amazing and gifted Director. This is cinema of a by-gone age that feels just like a dream, much the same as the film itself encapsulates. See more Read all reviews
