Poetry of the Body

A surreal retelling of the Orpheus myth, filled with beautiful images painted by the characters' actions. Cocteau considered himself a poet, regardless of the media, and he lives up to his own image with Orphée. From the symbolism of Death releasing a bird, to the creepy vision of Orphée's severed head speaking, this is a work that inspires the mind and the soul.
