The Review: Black Orpheus


Black Orpheus 9/10


This movie was awesome. I had heard of Black Orpheus but didn't know nothing about it other than the original tale it spun from which took me way to long to figure out in this film. L. suggested this one and we checked it out last week. Its about this woman named Eurydice who arrives to Rio de Janeiro during Carnival...I think. The whole city is a big ass party that will culminate with an even larger one. She is trying to get to her cousins place because she is on the run and ends up getting snatched onto a train. Like, literally snatched onto it. She is found at the last stop by this dude named Orfeu who is the train driver. He immediately takes a liking to her but he is newly engaged and every woman in the town wants a slice of him. He doesn't seem to want to get married to Mira who wants all of the attention from everyone.
