Orpheus (1950)

Orpheus (1950) – J. Cocteau

Perhaps fittingly, I kept falling asleep and waking back up (I think) as I rewatched Orpheus after a many-year break. Cocteau's dreamscape follows the title character through the mirror to romance death herself before re-embracing life and living. Great cinematic moments with hypnotic very special effects. No excess is absurd, indeed.
