Leave your thoughts about Orpheus.
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonCocteau's visual imagination, leading us through mirrors into a bomb-scarred dreamworld governed by the femme fatale of Death, is enduringly magical and strongly cinematic. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendricka paragon of magical realism that transports the ancient Greek myth into the then-modern realm of postwar France |
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherSomnambulistic symbolism may be art for art's sake. Maybe not. This writer finds it slightly tiresome. |
| BBC.comJamie RussellFull of haunting imagery plucked from the realm of fairy tales, Orphée is one of the great cinematic fantasies of the 20th century. |
| Movie Magazine InternationalMoira SullivanThis is one of the most exquisite gems of cinema history. Cocteau's film of the Orpheus myth. Many moments are enchanting such as cryptic messages broadcast from a car radio. |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanCocteau rarely fumbles here, which is remarkable considering what he is attempting. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawIt has the mystery and elasticity of a dream, and all the farcical comic horror of chancing across the intricate contents of the Blessed Virgin's lingerie collection. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertSeeing Orpheus today is like glimpsing a cinematic realm that has passed completely from the scene. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchA magical enduring classic, to be seen again and again. |
| Cinema AutopsyThomas CaldwellA film that defies the conventions of classical Hollywood films and became considered a work of art that transcends the traditional confines of the cinema. |
