Orpheus
duuuuuuuude those special effects!!! 2020 could never
flips the story of Orpheus on its head through the addition of Death, her aides and the tribunal making the underworld seem like a place of business with barters and trades rather than a place of torture which is different for sure.
can’t recommend this or the other Jean Cocteau Beauty and the Beast enough. I need to check out his other works
this is great example of how cinema melds poetry, history and writing while using the format of film to portray it.
