Moving forward, we are going to consider a famous film (Yes, it's in B&W with subtitles!) from 1949,
'Orpheus' by French artist, poet, and film director Jean Cocteau. Cocteau's film is among the most revered films of the mid-twentieth century. After you watch it (hopefully, more than once!) you'll understand why his film has influenced every important filmmaker of fantasy, political allegory, and sci-fi to the present day.
