Myth precedes Reality

French Cinema is alive, thank you very much. Excellent film on TV5 about ancient Greek myth of Orpheus looking for Eurydice, transfigured into the present day. Ancient Greece re-incarnate, East meeting West. Non-judgmental and filmed with affection for people and the predicaments they can find themselves in. Starts in modern day French corporate existence, the main character experiencing a mid-life crisis. Gradually shifts to more rural scenery, first in France, then Greece. Intertwining of myth and reality leads to a mysterious climax which raises lots of questions that provide perfect food for thought. Je n'aurai qu'un mot: bravo.
