Testament of Orpheus

Synopsis

An aging poet travels through time and space into a mystical underworld labyrinth guarded by horse-headed centurions, facing a celestial tribunal accusing him of the innocent crime of poetry, resurrected from the dead by his beloved muse and friends: 'The film of a poet who wants to reveal the secrets of his inner world.' Jean Cocteau's autobiographical cinematic testament starring Cocteau himself with cameos by Pablo Picasso, Jean Marais, Charles Aznavour, and Yul Brynner.
