Orpheus

This film was difficult to follow in places, but it was still ok. The way that they personified death was really interesting. The woman that is death in this film is called "Orpheus' death" so several of us thought that meant that each person has their own incarnation of death. This is a little confusing to the plot line because Orpheus' death still had the power to kill and control other people.
I kind of like the idea that everyone has a personage, I guess I'd call it an angel, that is their to help them transition when they die. Death never seemed to be a scary stalk-you-in-your-sleep kind of figure to me (it obviously was to the person who wrote this script). Although if the angel of death came into my room at night to watch me sleep, that would kind of creep me out.
The movie sort of combines the myth of Orpheus with the myth of Psyche. In the original myth Orpheus just can't look at her until they get home, but in the movie he can't ever look at her. It just seems unfair that her continued life is contingent upon his actions when it was mostly his fault that she was dead in the first place.
The film is also weird in that Eurydice isn't really the one that Orpheus loves, he's in love with death. The myth of Orpheus and Eurydice is supposed to be this legendary love story and they completely changed that in the movie.
Also, Orpheus was a complete jerk-off in the movie.
