Orpheus

At the Café des Poètes at Paris, a fight breaks out between the poet Orphée (Jean Marais) and a group of resentful upstarts. A rival poet, Cègeste (Edouard Dermit), is killed, and also a mysterious princess (María Casares) insists upon taking Orpheus and away the body within her rollsroyce. Orphée soon finds himself at the underworld. Orpheus leaks from the car straight back to the land of the living, just to eventually become obsessed with all the car radio. This film is your central part of Cocteau's Orphic Trilogy, which consists of The Blood of a Poet (1930), Orpheus (1950) and Testament of Orpheus (1960).
