Intriguing but unconvincing
8 April 2020 | by willst01 – See all my reviews

It takes a long time to get going and the principal actors are unconvincing... if Jacques Demy had managed to persuade Johnny Hallyday to play Orphee that would have been really interesting. Also Demy had to cast a Japanese actress (who couldn't speak French) as Eurydice in order to secure the finance for the movie. Jean Marais and Marie-France Pisier are excellent and the film perks up when they are on screen. I always enjoy Michel Legrand's music and the lighting effects in the movie are excellent. But it is not one of this director's better efforts.
