It is one thing to present a retelling of a classic myth. It is another thing entirely to make it fit comfortably into a modern context this well. The characters of Orpheus and Eurydice are more than just figments of legend, they are people which the audience can relate to on a nearly spiritual level.

Anyone who has been through therapy can relate to the horrifying ordeal of having your problems laid bare in front of you, and knowing that that is the only way for healing to begin. In the short span of 10 minutes, Basile creates a sharp portrait of two classic characters learning love is more complicated than undying devotion, bringing myth into reality sophistication and grace. Highly recommend!
