In Reply to: Orfeu Negro (Black Orpheus) back up on the big screen. My favorite movie! Should I go? posted by clarkjohnsen on April 14, 2006 at 09:43:49:
always complained that it portrays a false world of happy penury which never existed in Rio's favelas but the sourpusses are wrong: the poor, pre-drugs and massive emigration from the strarving NE, WERE a happy group with a sense of camaraderie much stronger than today.
The music, casting/acting, editing, photography (ah, the beauties of yester-Rio...), in short, all the pieces come together to form as perfect a work of art as film ever has given us.
Since this is a story larger than life, and cinematography is such an integral part of the film's language, I'd say the only way truly to appreciate it is on the big screen.
Lucky you.
