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.

  • Beautiful Movie

    I guess I'm used to the fast pace of modern movies but it was nice to see a dream-like, fantasty film like this. The carnival colours and amazing samba music were captivating and it was great to see an all-Black cast of beautiful, charismatic people.

  • black orpheus

    oscar winning movie from the 1950`s that turned the world on it`s collective head with it`s look into Carnaval season in Brazil,based on the old tale of Orpheus searching the land of the dead for his beloved...the star here is the music...samba. It permeates literally every centimeter of celluloid here.

  • hmmmmmm

    actually i saw this movie in one of my classes, i go to an art college so i found the movie to be artistically beautiful, the character, the culture and the scenes are aesthetically pleasing. As for the plot, for it to be re-telling the greek myth of orpheus and eurydice it seemed rather "cheezy" and put together.
