Mesmerising drama Black Orpheus brings Greek myth to life

The award-winning Black Orpheus (Second Sight, €24.99) is a mesmerising film that takes Vinicius de Moraes’ musical play, Orfeu da Conceição, and brings the Greek myth alive to the backdrop of the Rio Carnival.

Credited with bringing bossa nova to world attention, this newly extended edition is exhilarating to watch.
