Black Orpheus<\/b> or Orfeu Negro<\/b> is a French film adaptation of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth which was released in 1959. Marcel Camus did a brilliant job of directing this classic film which was scored beautifully, featuring Luis Bonf\u00e1’s classic Manh\u00e1 de Carnaval<\/em>, which many consider to have beenBossa Nova<\/b> before Bossa Nova ‘existed.’<\/p>\n

Bruno Mello<\/b>‘s epic performance really carries the film, though the exotic backdrop of Rio de Janeiro during Carnaval doesn’t hurt either. Lively, playful, and at times haunting, Black Orpheus<\/b> introduced the rest of the world to the exotic image of Brazil that is still prevalent to this day.<\/p>\n


\nIt is important to remember that this movie, though filmed in Rio and featuring a Brazilian cast, represents a European fantasy of Brazil and the tropics as a whole. It is obvious, for one, that the portrayal of poverty and the reality of much of afro-brazilian society is inaccurate to say the very least.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, if you haven’t seen Orfeu Negro<\/b>, it is well worth it!<\/p>\n


\n-Vai! Toca!
\n-N\u00e3o sei!<\/b><\/p>\n

-Sabe, sim. Vai!<\/p>\n

[Orfeu toca viol\u00e3o]<\/p>\n

-Toca bem, n\u00e3o?<\/p>\n

-Onde \u00e9 que c\u00ea t\u00e1 olhando?<\/p>\n

-Cale a boca… ele est\u00e1 fazendo levantar o sol!<\/p>\n

-Ele fez o sol levantar!<\/p>\n

-Puxa! Igualzinho ao Orfeu<\/p>\n

-Agora voc\u00ea \u00e9 Orfeu
\n-N\u00e3o<\/p>\n

-Sim. Toca essa florzinha<\/p>\n
