This was a beautiful and captivating film, richly detailed, sumptuously colorful, with wonderfully nuanced characters and a deeply moving and tragic central love story. The portrayal of Orfeu's descent into the Underworld, where he finds Euridice, is a shimmering and powerful moment of abject agony and transcendent love.
