Review of Black Orpheus (1959) by Sam M — 26 Jul 2011
Color, costumes, 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 yet there is the constant reality of death.
And it strikes in way we cannot comprehend, fatalistically, and we are helpless to do anything about it. The intensity of carnival carries us along. The real star of the film is the music. A classic of world cinema.
