With a celebrated bossa-nova soundtrack by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luis Bonfá, the 1959 film “Black Orpheus” re-imagines the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice in the slums of Rio de Janeiro during Carnivale. Winner of the 1960 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, this ancient love story is based on the musical “Orfeu da Conceição.”
