Le testament d'Orphée ou ne me demanoz pas pourquoi The testament of Orpheus or Don't ask me why
Modern account of the Orpheus myth dealing with narcissism and with the portrayal of the poet as one torn between the real world and that of the spirit and imagination.
"Impossibile da raccontare questo film-testamento in cui l'autore si circonda di amici (Picasso, Dominguín, Sagan, Bardot, Brynner, Lifar, ecc.) e che è formato da una serie di gag liriche e plastiche, e da metafore ossessive. (Morandini)."@it
"Orfeo, un poeta, conosce al Cafè des Artistes la Principessa (la Morte) e ne diviene ossessionato. Quando la moglie di Orfeo, Euridice, perde la vita in un incidente causato da motociclisti,Orfeo accetta un patto con la Principessa: potrà scendere all'oltretomba e riportare in vita Euridice, a condizione di non guardarsi mai più. Ma uno sguardo da uno specchietto retrovisore fa sparire nuovamente Euridice."

"Morts et résurrections du poète. Troisième partie d'un journal intime (personnel et surréaliste) du poète qui suit un itinéraire au cours duquel il rencontre un savant, un homme-cheval, un campement gitan, Cégeste, Heurtebise, les enfers, Minerve et d'autres. Le poète se promène dans le film autant irréel qu'intemporel. Ce temps du poète devait être anéanti par un révolver, invention d'un savant dont ce dernier vient troubler la vieillesse."

"Fiction. Fantaisie poétique. Le poète Jean Cocteau, s'est égaré dans une autre époque. Avec le concours d'un savant, il réussit à regagner notre ère mais doit d'abord, guidé par Cégeste, le jeune poète du film Orphée, traverser la zone intermédiaire entre la vie et la mort. Tué d'un coup de lance par Minerve, déesse de la Raison, le poète réssucite bientôt pour se retrouver peu après dans le monde des vivants. Avec Jean Cocteau, Jean Marais, Edouard Dermit, Maria Casarès. [SDM]."
