About this product
Product Information
Camus' winner of the Palme d'Or winner at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival is a modern reinterpretation of the myth of Orpheus which simultaneously celebrates the beauty, music and people of Brazil. In this version of the ages-old tale, Orpheus is a streetcar conductor and star Carnival dancer who is betrothed to the determined Mira but is in love with Eurydice. As Mira and Death himself pursue the doomed Orpheus and his lover through the streets of Rio de Janeiro, Carnival literally brings the streets to life. Lush photography and the timeless and brilliant bossa nova sounds of Jobim give the film a distinct power and beauty.Product Identifiers

Black Orpheus as Modern Myth is Stunning As One of World's Greatest Films
Few films have left me a stunned by their cinematic artistry and original concept as Black Orpheus. I first viewed the film in a theatrical screening in the very early 1960's, and the treatment of the mythological theme, set among the black residents of Brazil's favelas, in Rio de Janeiro, was engrossing and stunning. The late Marcel Camus adapted the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, as had Cocteau in 1950, and presented the characters as living equivalents, struggling to consumate love within the milieu of modern life. While they meet tragedy, as in the Greek myth, their eternal struggle repeats as life goes on. A Masterpiece.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
