If you loved La Belle et la Bête, try Orphée
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
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 La Belle et la Bête, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Orphée is
Cocteau here asks: what if a really self-important poet met Death? Orpheus, a well-regarded author, finds himself entranced by a mysterious princess and follows her into the underworld. Turns out, the path to artistic inspiration lies beyond the veil.
