Musta Orfeus (port. Orfeu Negro) on ranskalais-italialais-brasilialainen elokuva vuodelta 1959. Elokuvan ohjasi Marcel Camus, ja sen pääosia näyttelevät ohjaajan itsensä lisäksi Breno Mella, Fausto Guezzoni, Lourdes de Oliveira ja Adenaur Da Silva. Antiikin Orfeus-myyttiä tulkitsevaa elokuvaa kuvattiin Brasiliassa, ja se tuli tunnetuksi Luiz Bonfán ja Antônio Carlos Jobimin säveltämästä bossa nova -musiikista.
Musta Orfeus palkittiin julkaisuvuonna parhaan vieraskielisen elokuvan Oscar-palkinnolla sekä Kultainen palmu -palkinnolla. The New York Timesin kriitikot valitsivat sen vuonna 2004 yhdeksi kaikkien aikojen tuhannesta parhaasta elokuvasta maailmassa.[1]

Black Orpheus (Portuguese: Orfeu Negro) is a 1959 film made in Brazil by French director Marcel Camus and starring Marpessa Dawn and Breno Mello. It is based on the play Orfeu da Conceição by Vinicius de Moraes, which is an adaptation of the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice, set in the modern context of a favela in Rio de Janeiro during Carnaval. The film was an international co-production among production companies in Brazil, France and Italy.
The film is particularly noted for its soundtrack by two Brazilian composers: Antônio Carlos Jobim, whose song "A Felicidade" opens the film; and Luiz Bonfá, whose "Manhã de Carnaval" and "Samba de Orfeu" have become bossa nova classics. The songs sung by the character Orfeu were dubbed show more by singer Agostinho dos Santos.[2]
Lengthy passages of the film were shot in the Morro da Babilônia, a favela (slum) in the Leme neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro. (Wiki) show less
