If you loved Beauty and the Beast, try Orpheus
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
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 Beauty and the Beast, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Orpheus 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.
