Synopsis
Winner of both the Academy Award for best foreign-language film and the Cannes Film Festival’s Palme d’Or, Marcel Camus’ Black Orpheus transports the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice to Rio’s vibrant Afro-Brazilian community on the eve of Carnival. The richness of community spirit is captured in ravishing photography, divine costumes and an epochal soundtrack that made the film an international cultural event, kicking off the craze for the much loved bossa nova.
