Jean Cocteau revives and rearranges an ancient myth in a setting of modern-day France, and maintains throughout a serious, reverential, poetic feeling for fantasy (Death rides in a Rolls Royce under the escort of two black-leather motorcyclists, mirrors are gateways to the Underworld), even if, at times, his style indulges in ostentatious and transparent trickery. With Jean Marais, Maria Casares. (1949) — Duncan Shepherd
