In a beautiful retelling of the classic story of the musician Orpheus and his search for his beloved Eurydice, French director Marcel Camus updates the story and places it in Rio de Janeiro during the samba-filled week of Carnaval. In this version, a singing trolley conductor, Orfeo, is engaged to Mira, but falls hopelessly in love when he first sees Eurydice, a young woman who has fled her village because of a stalker. Mira is enraged with jealousy and Eurydice’s stalker is now conveniently dressed in a Carnaval costume representing Death. With beautiful music and wonderful dances, the tragedy of Orfeo and Eurydice is made all the more poignant than even the original.
