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.
