Black Orpheus (Orfeu Negro in Portuguese) is a 1959 film made in Brazil by French director Marcel Camus. It is based on the play Orfeu da Conceição by Vinicius de Moraes, which is an adaptation of the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice, setting it in the modern context of Rio de Janeiro during the Carnaval. The film was an international co-production between production companies in Brazil, France and Italy.

  • Love it I want to dance now : )

  • Great film and one of my all time favorites. The lead actors were quite attractive and portrayed their roles quite convincingly. It's a shame that Breno Mello didn't pursue an acting career. He was quite handsome and possessed so much sec appeal. I applaud Mr. Camus for cetering the classic Greek tale on a black theme. Had this film been made during that same year in Hollywood, no doubt the roles would have gone to popular white actors such as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
