"Among the misconceptions which have been written about Orphée, I still see Heurtebise described as an angel and the Princess as Death. In the film, there is no Death and no angel. There can be none. Heurtebise is a young Death serving in one of the numerous sub-orders of Death, and the Princess is no more Death than an air hostess is an angel. I never touch on dogmas. The region that I depict is a border on life, a no man's land where one hovers between life and death."

María Casares plays the Princess.
She published her autobiography, Résidente privilégiée (Privileged Resident) in 1980, in which she described her 16-year affair with Albert Camus.[2][3][4][5][6] The couple never married,[7] but their extensive correspondence, first published in France in late 2017,[8] lasted from 1944 to almost the end of Camus' life.[9] She starred in a number of Albert Camus's plays and often threatened to end their stormy affair over his refusal to leave Francine Faure.
Note to Bill should he see this: I saw Be-Bop Deluxe ca. 1978 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, US(A). A fond memory. Cheap Trick opened. I don't think they went over very well. But I liked them. I had their first album and, at that point, all of yours.

It’s a film that every time I watch it I feel like it’s the first time watching it Actually all of Cocteau‘s films are like that.
