| Black Orpheus (Orfeu Negro) is a 1959 Brazilian film by French director Marcel Camus based on the play Orfeu da Conceição by Vinicius de Moraes. It retells the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice, setting it in the modern context of Rio de Janeiro during Carnival. The film is particularly renowned for its soundtrack by bossa nova legend Antonio Carlos Jobim. It won the Palme d'Or at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival as well as the 1960 U.S. Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and the 1960 Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film. In 1999, the film was essentially remade as Orfeu by Carlos Diegues, this time with a soundtrack featuring contemporary Brazilian singer/songwriter Caetano Veloso.
