This international cinema favorite retells the Greek legend of Orfeu and Eurydice as they fall in love and run through the favelas of Rio during Carnaval, away from Orfeu’s spiteful fiancée and a hit man dressed like Death. Non-professional actors engaged in authentic ritual and ceremony, bossa nova vibes, and Carnaval footage make this a classic of “native cinema.”
