DESCRIPTION
This 1950 update of the Orphic myth by Jean Cocteau Beauty and the Beast depicts a famous poet Jean Marais scorned by the Left Bank youth, and his love for both his wife Eurydice Marie Déa and a mysterious princess Maria Casarès. Seeking inspiration, the poet follows the princess from the world of the living to the land of the dead through Cocteau’s famous mirrored portal. Orpheus represents the legendary Cocteau at the height of his abilities for peerless visual poetry and dreamlike storytelling.
