If you loved Orpheus, try Beauty and the Beast
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 Orpheus, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Beauty and the Beast 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.
