Having seen it no fewer than two dozen times, this comes down to, Do I want to make the trek over to Cambridge where there's almost no parking, and Do I want to spend another $7.50 when I own the DVD? Even though it's playing at the same theatre (the Brattle) I first saw it at, so long ago? Hmmm...Maybe I should find out if this is *yet another* restoration, beyond the one of several years ago.
"'Orpheus' brings music to a myth" reads the Boston Globe headline; I append the intelligent review below. Indeed I have never experienced music so skillfully joined to cinema -- and yet (thank God!) no one breaks out into song.
Several years ago I was in Rio and heard tell of a new, totally remade modern Orfeu Negro -- involving drugs and shootouts in the favelas. As luck would have it, BO2 opened in Boston the day I got back, so I went to see it that very night. Disgusting! Not a single redeeming quality, and no real music either -- just some blaring hip-hop-type crap. I don't know how to say this in Portugues, but Latin is close -- O tempore, o mores.
