March 12, 2026… #movieoftheday is Black Orpheus (full movie) (1959).
“Black Orpheus ( Portuguese : Orfeu Negro ) is a 1959 romantic, tragedy film directed by French filmmaker Marcel Camus and starring Marpessa Dawn and Breno Mello . It is based on the play Orfeu da Conceição , by Vinicius de Moraes , which set the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice in a contemporary favela in Rio de Janeiro during Carnaval . The film was an international co-production among companies in Brazil, France and Italy.
“The film is particularly noted for its soundtrack by two Brazilian composers: Antônio Carlos Jobim , whose song " A felicidade " opens the film, and Luiz Bonfá , whose " Manhã de Carnaval " and "Samba de Orfeu" have become classics of bossa nova . The songs performed by Orfeu were dubbed by singer Agostinho dos Santos . Lengthy passages of filming took place in the Morro da Babilônia , a favela in the Leme neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro .
“Black Orpheus won the Palme d'Or at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival , the 1960 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film , the 1960 Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Film and was nominated for the 1961 BAFTA Award for Best Film .
“While the 1959 adaptation has been celebrated internationally, it has been criticized by Brazilians and scholars for exoticizing Brazil for an international audience and reinforcing harmful stereotypes.” - more at Wikipedia
