at a glance
directed by albert camus's brother marcel camus, the film shows a glamorous, exotic and colorful view of rio, which camouflages the likely social inequities of its characters' lives.

the film, which features an outstanding bossa nova soundtrack composed by well-known brazilian artists luiz bonfá and antónio carlos jobim, is based on the play 'orfeu da conceição' by vinícius de moraes.

orpheus (breno mello) is a streetcar conductor and eurydice (marpessa dawn) lives nearby, in fear of a man disguised as death, who she believes is trying to kill her.  

although engaged to mira, orpheus falls in love with eurydice and the two find themselves on the run from both mira and death. when tragedy ensues and eurydice is killed, orpheus enters the rio morgue and attempts to revive her body.                    arrow-back      arrow-forward
