BLACK ORPHEUS is an immersive wonder in every respect, a bold and colorful adaptation of the ancient Greek story of Orpheus and Eurydice set in Brazil at Carnaval time. This is the film that introduced the world to the bossa-nova and samba beats of the Afro-Brazilian music scene, and the pulse of the music drives the story throughout. This is a certified crowd-pleaser, so if you have a friend you have been thinking about introducing to the AFS Cinema, this may be the one.
