Orpheus' Song (2019)
10/10
Beautiful love story
7 April 2023
Really a beautiful love story.... Kudo's for Sacha Weingarten and Julien Lickert.... they play really believable characters... the mythical context is a really nice poetic context writer and director Tor Iben gives to the whole story... I love the dreamlike state at times.... I might be wrong but I feel some inspiration from Marco Berger's films? Although Tor Iben has a feel for mythicism, for a fairytale like world with a connection to ancient old stories told for centuries... in this case the great Greek Myths... Both Sacha Weingarten and Julien Lickert portray two very believable men with deep complex emotions. It never becomes corny and never too porny ... it's honest and true... Perhaps they could have made the film a bit longer.... a bit more expansion on some parts of the script. The film is now a bit longer than one hour. I understand the budget was probably tight but I think with a bit more script the film could have become a 1,5 to 2 hour feature film... If you like Marco Berger's films I am sure you will appreciate Orpheus' Song also... Again: perfectly cast!
