“Since this movie has a really strong reputation (it is included in the â1001 Movies You Must See Before You Dieâ list among other things), I was quite eager to check it out. By now, it was the 3rd movie I saw directed by Jean Cocteau and I guess Iâm starting to get more familiar with his surrealist vibe. Recently, I also watched âLa belle et la bĂȘteâ by Cocteau but, even if it did like it, to be honest, it didnât really blow me away though. In fact, I thought this other directing effort by Cocteau was actually much more intriguing. Sure, visually speaking, it was less fancy than âLa belle et la bĂȘteâ but Cocteau still had some neat tricks in this area but, as far as I was concerned, it wasnât the most interesting thing about this movie.

Elokuvat 2020 (530 movies items)"Sadun ja unen logiikoilla pelaileva taide-elokuva sanan vanhassa ja viattomassa merkityksessÀ. JÀlleen uusi luku loppumattomassa tarinassa nimeltÀÀn Olisi pitÀnyt nÀhdÀ elokuvateatterissa."
recomendaciones peliculas (27 movies items)"Forma parte de una trilogĂa del mismo nombre, no importa, esta pelĂcula es autonclusiva y no es necesario ver a las otras. Es una pelĂcula de fantasĂa muy original, tanto su concepto como sus efectos especiales. Es extraña, inspiradora y melancĂłlica. Los diĂĄlogos son poesĂa. Tiene una historia simple y ya muy vista, pero sabe como darle un giro diferente. Es de esos filmes que se notan estar hechos con amor."
Films watched 2019 (299 movies items)"Cocteaun versiointi klassisesta kreikkastoorista on juurikin sen nÀköinen, kuin tekijöiltÀÀn voisi voisi odottaa. Upean nÀköinen, mutta jokin tÀssÀ silitti minua vastakarvaan. EhkÀ olen liian vÀlillÀ nÀissÀ vapauksia ottavissa antiikin tulkinnoissa."

“Los textos, muy en caja, bien puestos en escena, le ganan a las imĂĄgenes salvo la slow motion de Marais guiado por Perier. Casares es siempre notable, es una sĂłlida y a la vez frĂĄgil muerte. A seguir con la clave explicada en el comienzo, lo que no es muy auspicioso” read more
“âA legend is entitled to be beyond time and place.â Â So says Jean Cocteau in a written prologue for his most direct wrestling with the Orpheus myth. Here, he makes not only edits and additions, but entirely new wrinkles and full scale revisions to the myth, these add layers of strangeness, poignancy, and the hint of autobiography. It towers over other fantasy films for the ways it grounds these elements in a solid structure. Cocteau managed to make something that was not only a personally revealing art film, but also a raucous piece of pop entertainment. Â Orpheus reconfigures its narrative from a story about a musician seducing the gods with his art into the story of a poet chasing his inspiration in the face of popularity, a eternally petulant teenager that becomes enamored wi” read more
