If you loved Orfeo, try La bella e la bestia
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
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 Orfeo, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What La bella e la bestia 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.
