"Black Orpheus" is a masterful retelling of the classic Greek myth. The digitally remastered release of the 1959 film by Marcel Camus is breathtakingly beautiful, full of vibrant colors, costumes, and set designs. Set in the favellas and streets of Rio de Janeiro at the time of Carnival, this movie is credited with starting off the world-wide bossa nova dance-craze which persists to this day. It presents a rich tapestry of timeless beauty, fun, tragedy, and sorrow.

What a movie! I saw this first time when a very young teen, I learned about their great music, the poor of Rio, their great joy for living and carnival plus the Greek mythology the movie was based on. What a love story. What a great price I got, incredible! Thank you. Great pix quality too. Buy w confidence!
