If you loved Orpheus, try Die Schöne und die Bestie
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Jean Cocteau, and they both carry the foreign gem, slow burn, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Fantasy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Orpheus, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Die Schöne und die Bestie is
Cocteau throws a bit of everything at the screen, to see what sticks. A merchant's daughter attempts to save her father by taking his place in a bewitched castle. It flirts with being profound, but mostly just delivers a slightly stagey fairy tale.
