Orpheus

	CAFF 04
		In this recounting, Orpheus is the son of Apollo and the muse Calliope.
		Orpheus’ supernatural musical ability, the love story between the two, the journey into the underworld, the singing of the song to call forth Eurydice, the mistake of Orpheus sending Eurydice away from him and the paradoxical tragic/happy ending that kills Orpheus but reunites him with Eurydice so that they are both together.
		Orpheus and Eurydice both dress in costumes that have an ancient Greek flare to them, the music, much like that of Orpheus, transports the audience to another level of reality and the character of Death pursuing Eurydice with no known motive seems able to blend into the frenzy that is Carnaval.

		The true brilliance of Black Orpheus lies in the people who live on the side of the cliffs overlooking the harbor at Rio.
		Then there is the color, the costumes, the pounding rhythms, the spectacular vitality of life that is depicted as a carnival of dance and song in which we are driven along as on a wave.
		And then Orpheus sings, a new Orpheus perhaps, and the sun rises again, and a little girl in white, looking like Eurydice in miniature, begins to dance as the little boy Orpheus plays his guitar, telling us that time has come round again.

		It is interesting to see the manner in which the people of the film live in obvious poverty, but yet they have this zest and joy for life that spills over to the viewer.
		Undoubtedly, there is much more to Black life in Brazil than this, but one can take the film for what it is, which is a very good story.
		One does not need to be familiar with the Greek myth of Orpheus and Euridyce or the life of Black Brazilians to understand and enjoy the film.

		Near the end of Black Orpheus (Orfeu Negro), Marcel Camus’s masterpiece of 1959, there comes what can only be described as an authorial disclaimer that strikes the film’s one seriously false note.
		This Orfeo (Breno Mello) is a tram conductor who, in his spare time, is a leading light of the Babilonia Samba School, one of several such institutions that compete for prizes at Carnival time, and is widely known for his dancing as well as his singing and guitar playing.
		In the legend, it will be remembered, Orpheus descends to Hades and so charms the infernal powers with this music that he is allowed to lead Eurydice back up to the light — provided that he doesn’t turn around to look at her as she follows him.

	Black Orpheus - Movie Review
		An odd retelling of the myth of Orpheus & Eurydice (you remember: she was kidnapped by Hades, he had to save her but if he looked back on the way out, he would lose her forever...
		and he looks), this time Orpheus (aka Orfeu, Breno Mello) is a Rio de Janeiro laborer who loves his guitar, has an overbearing girlfriend, and falls in love with the visiting Eurydice (Marpessa Dawn) at first sight.
		After a drawn-out (and a bit padded) love triangle bit, she is kidnapped by Death himself (actually a weird guy in a funky bodysuit), and sure enough, Orpheus heads to the rescue.
