Cocteau's retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus-the musician whose virtuoso gifts charmed all who heard his music, animals and gods-is among the most breathtaking films ever made. Translated to Paris' Left Bank in the 1950s, Jean Marais' Orpheus is now a renowned poet. To retrieve his dead wife Eurydice, he must venture into the Underworld beyond the mirror, where the angels of death are leather-clad bikers, and Death herself a gothic dominatrix.
