Black Orpheus


Lush Latin rhythms create a wild undercurrent in this vivid retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice story set during Rio de Janeiro’s raucous Carnival. The hypnotic score by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Luiz Bonfá helped ignite a worldwide Brazilian jazz explosion when Black Orpheus was released in 1959. Winner of awards including the Best Foreign Film Oscar and the Palme d’Or at Cannes, Marcel Camus’s film became an instant classic.
