Black Orpheus

E:
I watched this again recently. It's a retelling of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, but set during Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro. I wasn't familiar with the Greek love story beforehand but when I first saw this film years ago it stuck with me.
It's very lyrical and haunting and the music is phenomenal (I bought the soundtrack after seeing it). The story blurs the line between fantasy and reality while being self referential at the same time. When meeting Eurydice he reminds her that their story is thousands of years old.
The moobie won the 1959 Palme d'Or at Cannes and the 1960 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film so it's got some cred.
It is in Portuguese, so if you're not in the mood for subtitles save it for another time. But it's a brilliant film. I highly recommend it.
