"Orfeu Negro" (1959) is a Brazilian-French drama film directed by Marcel Camus. The movie is a modern retelling of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, set in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro during Carnaval. The film stars Breno Mello, Didi-Peteca, and Cartola. It received critical acclaim, winning the Palme d'Or at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1960.

It is crucial to state that downloading a copyrighted DVD rip of Orfeu (1999) without paying for it is illegal in most jurisdictions. The film is owned by Globo Filmes and Columbia TriStar. However, the law acknowledges "abandonware" in spirit if not in statute. When a film is out of print, unavailable on any streaming service in your region for years, and the rights holders refuse to produce a digital release, many archivists argue that downloading a DVD rip is an act of cultural preservation.
