Orphée (1950)
Orphée, le poète, se trouve au sommet de sa gloire et de sa fortune, en dépit des ricanements d'une jeune génération de poètes ambitieux. Devant le café littéraire de la ville, il est bousculé par l'un de ses jeunes rivaux, Cégeste, que tente d'entraîner la princesse, la mystérieuse dame à la Rolls noire. Une bagarre éclate : Cégeste est renversé par deux motocyclistes vêtus de noir. La princesse emporte le corps de Cégeste dans sa Rolls et demande à Orphée de l'accompagner pour témoigner. C'est un piège. Orphée assiste à des phénomènes étranges. Il n'est plus le même. Il refuse de répondre à la police comme à Eurydice, sa femme. Peu après, celle-ci est à son tour renversée par les motocyclistes…
Directeur: Jean Cocteau
