The film"s page
Orphée est un poète. À la suite d’un accident ayant emporté Cégeste, il devient obsédé par la Mort, incarnée par une princesse, en venant même à délaisser sa femme Eurydice. Jalouse de cette dernière, la princesse la fait tuer par l’intermédiaire de ses sbires. Orphée franchit le miroir qui le mène au royaume des morts...
Note : Orphée constitue le second volet de la trilogie que Jean Cocteau consacra au héros mythologique. Le premier, Le Sang d’un poète, sortit en 1930, et le troisième, Le Testament d’Orphée, en 1959.
