BLACK ORPHEUS
Academy Award® and Palm D’Or winner
Making a huge impact on its release, Marcel Camus’ Oscar®, Golden Globe and Palm D’Or winning film retells the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice against the vibrant backdrop of the Rio carnival. The infectious soundtrack by Antonio Carlo Jobim and Luiz Bonfá is credited with bringing the bossa nova sound to a world-wide audience and in this new transfer, featuring the extended version of the film, full justice is done to the glorious colour photography.
Black Orpheus remains as fresh and intoxicating today as it was when it thrilled audiences at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival.
