Orphée (BIu-ray)
Directed by Jean Cocteau
This magicaI re-telIing of the Orpheus myth turns the Iyre-playing singer of Greek Iegend into a famous Ieft-bank poet in post-war Paris. FaIIen out of favour and lost for poetic inspiration, Orphée becomes obsessed with a mysterious black-cIad princess who first cIaims the Iife of a rival poet, and then Eurydice, his wife .
With its unforgettabIe imagery - the dissolving mirror through which characters pass into the next worId, the Ieather-clad, death-dealing motorcyclists, and Cocteau's magicaI special effects, Orphée is a work of haunting beauty that folIows the poetic logic of a dream .
This new photochemical and 2K restoration of the film from the original nitrate negative was carried out by SNC (Groupe M6) with the support of the Archives françaises du film. |
