Orfeu is a 1999 Brazilian film by direct by Carlos Diegues based on the play Orfeu da Concei??o by Vinicius de Moraes. It retells the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice. The film sets this legend in the modern context of Rio de Janeiro during Carnival. This film is also considered to be a much more updated, grittier remake of the 1959 film Black Orpheus. Toni Garrido stars as Orfeu, Patrcia Fran?a as Eurdice and Murilo Bencio as Lucinho.
The soundtrack to the film was produced by Caetano Veloso.
